Because<S>834</S> you obeyed<S>8085</S> not the voice<S>6963</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, nor executed<S>6213</S> his fierce<S>2740</S> wrath<S>639</S> upon Amalek<S>6002</S>, therefore has the Lord<S>3068</S> done<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S> unto you this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Moreover the Lord<S>3068</S> will also deliver<S>5414</S> Israel<S>3478</S> with you into the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>: and to morrow<S>4279</S> shall you and your sons<S>1121</S> be with me<S>3068</S>: the Lord also shall deliver<S>5414</S> the army<S>4264</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> fell<S>5307</S> directly<S>4116</S> all<S>4393</S> along<S>6967</S> on the earth<S>776</S>, and was very<S>3966</S> afraid<S>3372</S>, because of the words<S>1697</S> of Samuel<S>8050</S>: and there was no strength<S>3581</S> in him<S>398</S>; for he had eaten no bread<S>3899</S> all the day<S>3117</S>, nor all the night<S>3915</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> came<S>935</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> that he was very<S>3966</S> troubled<S>926</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>8198</S>, Behold, your handmaid has obeyed<S>8085</S> your voice<S>6963</S>, and I have put<S>7760</S> my life<S>5315</S> in my hand<S>3709</S>, and have listened<S>8085</S> unto your words<S>1697</S> which you spoke unto me<S>1696</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>8085</S>, I pray you, listen you also unto the voice<S>6963</S> of your handmaid<S>8198</S>, and let me set<S>7760</S> a morsel<S>6595</S> of bread<S>3899</S> before<S>6440</S> you<S>398</S>; and eat, that you may have strength<S>3581</S>, when you go<S>3212</S> on your way<S>1870</S>.


text:
But he refused<S>3985</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I will not eat<S>398</S>. But his servants<S>5650</S>, together with the woman<S>802</S>, compelled<S>6555</S> him<S>8085</S>; and he listened unto their voice<S>6963</S>. So he arose<S>6965</S> from the earth<S>776</S>, and sat<S>3427</S> upon the bed<S>4296</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> had a fat<S>4770</S> calf<S>5695</S> in the house<S>1004</S>; and she hurried<S>4116</S>, and killed<S>2076</S> it<S>3947</S>, and took flour<S>7058</S>, and kneaded<S>3888</S> it<S>644</S>, and did bake unleavened bread there<S>4682</S>:


text:
And she brought<S>5066</S> it before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, and before<S>6440</S> his servants<S>5650</S>; and they did eat<S>398</S>. Then they rose up<S>6965</S>, and went away<S>3212</S> that night<S>3915</S>.


text:
Now the Philistines<S>6430</S> gathered together<S>6908</S> all their armies<S>4264</S> to Aphek<S>663</S>: and the Israelites<S>3478</S> pitched<S>2583</S> by a fountain<S>5869</S> which is in Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
And the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> passed on<S>5674</S> by hundreds<S>3967</S>, and by thousands<S>505</S>: but David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> passed on<S>5674</S> in the rear<S>314</S> with Achish<S>397</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> the princes<S>8269</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, What are these Hebrews<S>5680</S> doing here<S>397</S>? And Achish said<S>559</S> unto the princes<S>8269</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, Is not this David<S>1732</S>, the servant<S>5650</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, which has been with me these days<S>3117</S>, or these years<S>8141</S>, and I have found<S>4672</S> no fault<S>3972</S> in him since<S>3117</S> he fell<S>5307</S> away unto me unto this day<S>3117</S>?


text:
And the princes<S>8269</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> were angry<S>7107</S> with him<S>8269</S>; and the princes of the Philistines<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7725</S>, Make this fellow<S>376</S> return<S>7725</S>, that he may go again<S>7725</S> to his place<S>4725</S> which you have appointed<S>6485</S> him<S>3381</S>, and let him not go down with us to battle<S>4421</S>, lest in the battle<S>4421</S> he be an adversary<S>7854</S> to us<S>7521</S>: for with which should he reconcile himself unto his master<S>113</S>? should it not be with the heads<S>7218</S> of these men<S>582</S>?


text:
Is not this David<S>1732</S>, of whom they sang<S>6030</S> one to another in dances<S>4246</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Saul<S>7586</S> killed<S>5221</S> his thousands<S>505</S>, and David<S>1732</S> his ten thousands<S>7233</S>?


text:
Then Achish<S>397</S> called<S>7121</S> David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3068</S>, Surely, as the Lord lives<S>2416</S>, you have been upright<S>3477</S>, and your going out<S>3318</S> and your coming in<S>935</S> with me in the army<S>4264</S> is good<S>2896</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>: for I have not found<S>4672</S> evil<S>7451</S> in you since the day<S>3117</S> of your coming<S>935</S> unto me unto this day<S>3117</S>: nevertheless the lords<S>5633</S> favor<S>2896</S> you not<S>5869</S>.


text:
That is why now return<S>7725</S>, and go<S>3212</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, that you displease<S>7451</S> not the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Achish<S>397</S>, But what have I done<S>6213</S>? and what have you found<S>4672</S> in your servant<S>5650</S> so long as<S>3117</S> I have been with you<S>6440</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>, that I may not go<S>935</S> fight<S>3898</S> against the enemies<S>341</S> of my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>?


text:
And Achish<S>397</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, I know<S>3045</S> that you are good<S>2896</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>, as an angel<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S>: nevertheless the princes<S>8269</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> have said<S>559</S>, He shall not go up<S>5927</S> with us to the battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
Therefore now rise up early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S> with your master<S>113</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> that are come<S>935</S> with you<S>7925</S>: and as soon as you are up early in the morning<S>1242</S>, and have light<S>215</S>, depart<S>3212</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> rose up early<S>7925</S> to depart<S>3212</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, to return<S>7725</S> into the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>. And the Philistines<S>6430</S> went up<S>5927</S> to Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
And the child<S>5288</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> ministered<S>8334</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> before<S>6440</S> Eli<S>5941</S>. And the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was precious<S>3368</S> in those days<S>3117</S>; there was no open<S>6555</S> vision<S>2377</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at that time<S>3117</S>, when Eli<S>5941</S> was laid down<S>7901</S> in his place<S>4725</S>, and his eyes<S>5869</S> began<S>2490</S> to wax dim<S>3544</S>, that he could<S>3201</S> not see<S>7200</S>;


text:
And before the lamp<S>5216</S> of God<S>430</S> went out<S>3518</S> in the temple<S>1964</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, where the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> was<S>8050</S>, and Samuel was laid down to sleep<S>7901</S>;


text:
And he ran<S>7323</S> unto Eli<S>5941</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Here am I<S>2009</S>; for you called<S>7121</S> me<S>559</S>. And he said, I called<S>7121</S> not<S>7901</S>; lie down again<S>7725</S>. And he went<S>3212</S> and lay down<S>7901</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> called<S>7121</S> yet again<S>3254</S>, Samuel<S>8050</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>3212</S> to Eli<S>5941</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Here am I<S>7121</S>; for you did call me<S>559</S>. And he answered, I called<S>7121</S> not<S>1121</S>, my son; lie down<S>7901</S> again<S>7725</S>.


text:
Now Samuel<S>8050</S> did not yet<S>2962</S> know<S>3045</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, neither was the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> yet revealed unto him<S>1540</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> called<S>7121</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> again<S>3254</S> the third time<S>7992</S>. And he arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>3212</S> to Eli<S>5941</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Here am I<S>7121</S>; for you did call me<S>5941</S>. And Eli perceived<S>995</S> that the Lord<S>3068</S> had called<S>7121</S> the child<S>5288</S>.


text:
Therefore Eli<S>5941</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samuel<S>8050</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, lie down<S>7901</S>: and it shall be<S>7121</S>, if he call you<S>559</S>, that you shall say, Speak<S>1696</S>, Lord<S>3068</S>; for your servant<S>5650</S> hears<S>8085</S>. So Samuel<S>8050</S> went<S>3212</S> and lay down<S>7901</S> in his place<S>4725</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> came<S>935</S>, and stood<S>3320</S>, and called<S>7121</S> as at other times<S>6471</S>, Samuel<S>8050</S>, Samuel<S>8050</S>. Then Samuel<S>8050</S> answered<S>559</S>, Speak<S>1696</S>; for your servant<S>5650</S> hears<S>8085</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, Behold<S>6213</S>, I will do a thing<S>1697</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, at which both<S>8147</S> the ears<S>241</S> of every one that hears<S>8085</S> it shall tingle<S>6750</S>.


text:
In that day<S>3117</S> I will perform<S>6965</S> against Eli<S>5941</S> all things which I have spoken<S>1696</S> concerning<S>413</S> his house<S>1004</S>: when I begin<S>2490</S>, I will also make an end<S>3615</S>.


text:
For I have told<S>5046</S> him that I will judge<S>8199</S> his house<S>1004</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S> for the iniquity<S>5771</S> which he knows<S>3045</S>; because his sons<S>1121</S> made themselves vile<S>7043</S>, and he restrained them not<S>3543</S>.


text:
And therefore I have sworn<S>7650</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, that the iniquity<S>5771</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>'s house<S>1004</S> shall not be purged<S>3722</S> with sacrifice<S>2077</S> nor offering<S>4503</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> lay<S>7901</S> until the morning<S>1242</S>, and opened<S>6605</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> feared<S>3372</S> to show<S>5046</S> Eli<S>5941</S> the vision<S>4759</S>.


text:
Then Eli<S>5941</S> called<S>7121</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Samuel<S>8050</S>, my son<S>1121</S>. And he answered<S>559</S>, Here am I.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, What is the thing<S>1697</S> that the Lord has said<S>1696</S> unto you<S>3582</S>? I pray you hide it not from me<S>430</S>: God do so<S>6213</S> to you<S>3254</S>, and more also, if you hide<S>3582</S> any thing<S>1697</S> from me of all the things<S>1697</S> that he said unto you<S>1696</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> told<S>5046</S> him every whit<S>1697</S>, and hid<S>3582</S> nothing from him<S>559</S>. And he said, It is the Lord<S>3068</S>: let him do<S>6213</S> what seems<S>5869</S> him good<S>2896</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> grew<S>1431</S>, and the Lord<S>3068</S> was with him<S>1697</S>, and did let none of his words fall<S>5307</S> to the ground<S>776</S>.


text:
And all Israel<S>3478</S> from Dan<S>1835</S> even to Beer<S>884</S>–sheba knew<S>3045</S> that Samuel<S>8050</S> was established<S>539</S> to be a prophet<S>5030</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> appeared<S>7200</S> again<S>3254</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>: for the Lord<S>3068</S> revealed<S>1540</S> himself to Samuel<S>8050</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>1732</S>, when David and his men<S>582</S> were come<S>935</S> to Ziklag<S>6860</S> on the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S>, that the Amalekites<S>6003</S> had invaded<S>6584</S> the south<S>5045</S>, and Ziklag<S>6860</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> Ziklag<S>6860</S>, and burned<S>8313</S> it with fire<S>784</S>;


text:
And had taken the women<S>802</S> captives<S>7617</S>, that were in it<S>4191</S>: they killed not any<S>376</S>, either great<S>1419</S> or small<S>6996</S>, but carried them away<S>5090</S>, and went<S>3212</S> on their way<S>1870</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> came<S>935</S> to the city<S>5892</S>, and<S>8313</S>, behold, it was burned with fire<S>784</S>; and their wives<S>802</S>, and their sons<S>1121</S>, and their daughters<S>1323</S>, were taken captives<S>7617</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> and the people<S>5971</S> that were with him lifted up<S>5375</S> their voice<S>6963</S> and wept<S>1058</S>, until they had no more power<S>3581</S> to weep<S>1058</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S>'s two<S>8147</S> wives<S>802</S> were taken captives<S>7617</S>, Ahinoam<S>293</S> the Jezreelitess<S>3159</S>, and Abigail<S>26</S> the wife<S>802</S> of Nabal<S>5037</S> the Carmelite<S>3761</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> was greatly<S>3966</S> distressed<S>3334</S>; for the people<S>5971</S> spoke<S>559</S> of stoning<S>5619</S> him<S>5315</S>, because the soul of all the people<S>5971</S> was grieved<S>4843</S>, every man<S>376</S> for his sons<S>1121</S> and for his daughters<S>1323</S>: but David<S>1732</S> encouraged<S>2388</S> himself in the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abiathar<S>54</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, Ahimelech<S>288</S>'s son<S>1121</S>, I pray you<S>5066</S>, bring me here the ephod<S>646</S>. And Abiathar<S>54</S> brought<S>5066</S> there the ephod<S>646</S> to David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> inquired<S>7592</S> at the Lord<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Shall I pursue<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> this troop<S>1416</S>? shall I overtake<S>5381</S> them<S>559</S>? And he answered him<S>7291</S>, Pursue: for you shall surely<S>5381</S> overtake<S>5381</S> them<S>5337</S>, and without fail recover all<S>5337</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> went<S>3212</S>, he and the six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> that were with him<S>935</S>, and came to the brook<S>5158</S> Besor<S>1308</S>, where those that were left behind<S>3498</S> stayed<S>5975</S>.


text:
But David<S>1732</S> pursued<S>7291</S>, he and four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>: for two hundred<S>3967</S> stayed behind<S>5975</S>, who were so faint<S>6296</S> that they could not go over<S>5674</S> the brook<S>5158</S> Besor<S>1308</S>.


text:
And they found<S>4672</S> an Egyptian<S>376</S> in the field<S>7704</S>, and brought<S>3947</S> him to David<S>1732</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> him bread<S>3899</S>, and he did eat<S>398</S>; and they made him drink<S>8248</S> water<S>4325</S>;


text:
And they gave<S>5414</S> him a piece<S>6400</S> of a cake<S>1690</S> of figs<S>8147</S>, and two clusters of raisins<S>6778</S>: and when he had eaten<S>398</S>, his spirit<S>7307</S> came again<S>7725</S> to him<S>398</S>: for he had eaten no bread<S>3899</S>, nor drunk<S>8354</S> any water<S>4325</S>, three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S> and three<S>7969</S> nights<S>3915</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, To whom belongest you? and from where are you? And he said, I am a young man<S>5288</S> of Egypt<S>4713</S>, servant<S>5650</S> to an Amalekite<S>376</S>; and my master<S>113</S> left<S>5800</S> me<S>7969</S>, because three days<S>3117</S> ago I fell sick<S>2470</S>.


text:
We made an invasion<S>6584</S> upon the south<S>5045</S> of the Cherethites<S>3774</S>, and upon the coast which belongs to Judah<S>3063</S>, and upon the south<S>5045</S> of Caleb<S>3612</S>; and we burned<S>8313</S> Ziklag<S>6860</S> with fire<S>784</S>.

And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>3381</S>, Can you bring me down to this company<S>1416</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, Swear<S>7650</S> unto me by God<S>430</S>, that you will neither kill<S>4191</S> me<S>518</S>, nor deliver<S>5462</S> me into the hands<S>3027</S> of my master<S>113</S>, and I will bring you down<S>3381</S> to this company<S>1416</S>.


text:
And when he had brought him down<S>3381</S>, behold<S>5203</S>, they were spread abroad upon all<S>6440</S> the earth<S>776</S>, eating<S>398</S> and drinking<S>8354</S>, and dancing<S>2287</S>, because of all the great<S>1419</S> plunder<S>7998</S> that they had taken<S>3947</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and out of the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> struck<S>5221</S> them from the twilight<S>5399</S> even unto the evening<S>6153</S> of the next day<S>4283</S>: and there escaped<S>4422</S> not a man<S>376</S> of them<S>702</S>, save four hundred<S>3967</S> young<S>5288</S> men<S>376</S>, which rode<S>7392</S> upon camels<S>1581</S>, and fled<S>5127</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> recovered<S>5337</S> all that the Amalekites<S>6002</S> had carried away<S>3947</S>: and David<S>1732</S> rescued<S>5337</S> his two<S>8147</S> wives<S>802</S>.


text:
And there was nothing lacking<S>5737</S> to them<S>4480</S>, neither small<S>6996</S> nor great<S>1419</S>, neither sons<S>1121</S> nor daughters<S>1323</S>, neither plunder<S>7998</S>, nor any thing that they had taken<S>3947</S> to them<S>1732</S>: David recovered all<S>7725</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> took<S>3947</S> all the flocks<S>6629</S> and the herds<S>1241</S>, which they drove<S>5090</S> before<S>6440</S> those<S>1931</S> other cattle<S>4735</S>, and said<S>559</S>, This is David<S>1732</S>'s plunder<S>7998</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to the two hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>582</S>, which were so faint<S>6296</S> that they could not follow<S>3212</S> David<S>1732</S>, whom they had made also to stay<S>3427</S> at the brook<S>5158</S> Besor<S>1308</S>: and they went forth<S>3318</S> to meet<S>7125</S> David<S>1732</S>, and to meet<S>7125</S> the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>1732</S>: and when David came near<S>5066</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, he greeted them<S>7592</S>.


text:
Then answered<S>6030</S> all the wicked<S>7451</S> men<S>376</S> and men of Belial<S>1100</S>, of those<S>582</S> that went<S>1980</S> with David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Because they went<S>1980</S> not with us<S>5414</S>, we will not give them anything of the plunder<S>7998</S> that we have recovered<S>5337</S>, save to every man<S>376</S> his wife<S>802</S> and his sons<S>1121</S>, that they may lead them away<S>5090</S>, and depart<S>3212</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> David<S>1732</S>, You shall not do so<S>6213</S>, my brothers<S>251</S>, with that which the Lord<S>3068</S> has given<S>5414</S> us<S>8104</S>, who has preserved us<S>5414</S>, and delivered the company<S>1416</S> that came<S>935</S> against us into our hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
For who will listen<S>8085</S> unto you in this matter<S>1697</S>? but as his part<S>2506</S> is that goes down<S>3381</S> to the battle<S>4421</S>, so shall his part<S>2506</S> be that waits<S>3427</S> by the baggage<S>3627</S>: they shall share<S>2505</S> alike<S>3162</S>.


text:
And it was so from that day<S>3117</S> forward<S>4605</S>, that he made<S>7760</S> it a statute<S>2706</S> and an ordinance<S>4941</S> for Israel<S>3478</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And when David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to Ziklag<S>6860</S>, he sent<S>7971</S> of the plunder<S>7998</S> unto the elders<S>2205</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, even to his friends<S>7453</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold a present<S>1293</S> for you of the plunder<S>7998</S> of the enemies<S>341</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>;


text:
To them<S>834</S> which were in Beth<S>1008</S>–el, and to them which were in south<S>5045</S> Ramoth<S>7418</S>, and to them which were in Jattir<S>3492</S>,


text:
And to them which were in Aroer<S>6177</S>, and to them which were in Siphmoth<S>8224</S>, and to them which were in Eshtemoa<S>851</S>,


text:
And to them which were in Rachal<S>7403</S>, and to them which were in the cities<S>5892</S> of the Jerahmeelites<S>3397</S>, and to them which were in the cities<S>5892</S> of the Kenites<S>7017</S>,


text:
And to them which were in Hormah<S>2767</S>, and to them which were in Chor<S>3565</S>–ashan, and to them which were in Athach<S>6269</S>,


text:
And to them which were in Hebron<S>2275</S>, and to all the places<S>4725</S> where David<S>1732</S> himself and his men<S>582</S> were accustomed to haunt<S>1980</S>.


text:
Now the Philistines<S>6430</S> fought<S>3898</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>: and the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> fled<S>5127</S> from before<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and fell down<S>5307</S> slain<S>2491</S> in mountain<S>2022</S> Gilboa<S>1533</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> followed hard<S>1692</S> upon Saul<S>7586</S> and upon his sons<S>1121</S>; and the Philistines<S>6430</S> killed<S>5221</S> Jonathan<S>3083</S>, and Abinadab<S>41</S>, and Malchi<S>4444</S>–shua, Saul<S>7586</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>.


text:
And the battle<S>4421</S> went hard<S>3513</S> against Saul<S>7586</S>, and the archers<S>582</S> hit<S>4672</S> him<S>3966</S>; and he was severely wounded<S>2342</S> by the archers<S>582</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Saul<S>7586</S> unto his armor bearer<S>5375</S>, Draw<S>8025</S> your sword<S>2719</S>, and thrust me through<S>1856</S> with it<S>6189</S>; lest these uncircumcised come<S>935</S> and thrust me through<S>1856</S>, and abuse<S>5953</S> me<S>5375</S>. But his armor bearer would<S>14</S> not<S>3966</S>; for he was very afraid<S>3372</S>. Therefore Saul<S>7586</S> took<S>3947</S> a sword<S>2719</S>, and fell upon it<S>5307</S>.


text:
And when his armor bearer<S>5375</S> saw<S>7200</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, he fell<S>5307</S> likewise upon his sword<S>2719</S>, and died with him<S>4191</S>.


text:
So Saul<S>7586</S> died<S>4191</S>, and his three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S>, and his armor bearer<S>5375</S>, and all his men<S>582</S>, that same day<S>3117</S> together<S>3162</S>.


text:
And when the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that were on the other side<S>5676</S> of the valley<S>6010</S>, and they that were on the other side<S>5676</S> Jordan<S>3383</S>, saw<S>7200</S> that the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> fled<S>5127</S>, and that Saul<S>7586</S> and his sons<S>1121</S> were dead<S>4191</S>, they forsook<S>5800</S> the cities<S>5892</S>, and fled<S>5127</S>; and the Philistines<S>6430</S> came<S>935</S> and lived in them<S>3427</S>.


text:
And it came to pass on the morrow<S>4283</S>, when the Philistines<S>6430</S> came<S>935</S> to strip<S>6584</S> the slain<S>2491</S>, that they found<S>4672</S> Saul<S>7586</S> and his three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S> fallen<S>5307</S> in mountain<S>2022</S> Gilboa<S>1533</S>.


text:
And they cut off<S>3772</S> his head<S>7218</S>, and stripped off<S>6584</S> his armor<S>3627</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> into the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> round about<S>5439</S>, to publish<S>1319</S> it in the house<S>1004</S> of their idols<S>6091</S>, and among the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And they put<S>7760</S> his armor<S>3627</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Ashtaroth<S>6252</S>: and they fastened<S>8628</S> his body<S>1472</S> to the wall<S>2346</S> of Beth<S>1052</S>–shan.


text:
And when the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S>–gilead heard<S>8085</S> of that which the Philistines<S>6430</S> had done<S>6213</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>;


text:
All the valiant<S>2428</S> men<S>376</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> all night<S>3915</S>, and took<S>3947</S> the body<S>1472</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> and the bodies<S>1472</S> of his sons<S>1121</S> from the wall<S>2346</S> of Beth<S>1052</S>–shan, and came<S>935</S> to Jabesh<S>3003</S>, and burnt them there<S>8313</S>.


text:
And they took<S>3947</S> their bones<S>6106</S>, and buried<S>6912</S> them under a tree<S>815</S> at Jabesh<S>3003</S>, and fasted<S>6684</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And the word<S>1697</S> of Samuel<S>8050</S> came to all Israel<S>3478</S>. Now Israel<S>3478</S> went out<S>3318</S> against<S>7125</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S> to battle<S>4421</S>, and pitched<S>2583</S> beside Eben<S>72</S>–ezer: and the Philistines<S>6430</S> pitched<S>2583</S> in Aphek<S>663</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> put themselves in array<S>6186</S> against<S>7125</S> Israel<S>3478</S>: and when they joined<S>5203</S> battle<S>4421</S>, Israel<S>3478</S> was struck<S>5062</S> before<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>: and they killed<S>5221</S> of the army<S>4634</S> in the field<S>7704</S> about four<S>702</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
And when the people<S>5971</S> were come<S>935</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>, the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, Why has the Lord<S>3068</S> struck<S>5062</S> us to day<S>3117</S> before<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>? Let us fetch<S>3947</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> out of Shiloh<S>7887</S> unto us<S>935</S>, that, when it comes among<S>7130</S> us<S>3467</S>, it may save us out of the hand<S>3709</S> of our enemies<S>341</S>.


text:
So the people<S>5971</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Shiloh<S>7887</S>, that they might bring<S>5375</S> from there the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>, which dwells<S>3427</S> between the cherubims<S>3742</S>: and the two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, Hophni<S>2652</S> and Phinehas<S>6372</S>, were there with the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
And when the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came<S>935</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>, all Israel<S>3478</S> shouted<S>7321</S> with a great<S>1419</S> shout<S>8643</S>, so that the earth<S>776</S> rang again<S>1949</S>.


text:
And when the Philistines<S>6430</S> heard<S>8085</S> the noise<S>6963</S> of the shout<S>8643</S>, they said<S>559</S>, What means the noise<S>6963</S> of this great<S>1419</S> shout<S>8643</S> in the camp<S>4264</S> of the Hebrews<S>5680</S>? And they understood<S>3045</S> that the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was come<S>935</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> were afraid<S>3372</S>, for they said<S>559</S>, God<S>430</S> is come<S>935</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>. And they said<S>559</S>, Woe<S>188</S> unto us<S>865</S>! for there has not been such a thing before.


text:
Woe<S>188</S> unto us<S>5337</S>! who shall deliver us out of the hand<S>3027</S> of these mighty<S>117</S> Gods<S>430</S>? these are the Gods<S>430</S> that struck<S>5221</S> the Egyptians<S>4714</S> with all the plagues<S>4347</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
Be strong<S>2388</S>, and quit<S>1961</S> yourselves like men<S>582</S>, O you Philistines<S>6430</S>, that you be not servants<S>5647</S> unto the Hebrews<S>5680</S>, as they have been<S>5647</S> to you<S>1961</S>: quit yourselves like men<S>582</S>, and fight<S>3898</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> fought<S>3898</S>, and Israel<S>3478</S> was struck<S>5062</S>, and they fled<S>5127</S> every man<S>376</S> into his tent<S>168</S>: and there was a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>; for there fell<S>5307</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> thirty<S>7970</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>7273</S>.


text:
And the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> was taken<S>3947</S>; and the two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, Hophni<S>2652</S> and Phinehas<S>6372</S>, were slain<S>4191</S>.


text:
And there ran<S>7323</S> a man<S>376</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> out of the army<S>4634</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Shiloh<S>7887</S> the same day<S>3117</S> with his clothes<S>4055</S> torn<S>7167</S>, and with earth<S>127</S> upon his head<S>7218</S>.


text:
And when he came<S>935</S>, behold<S>5941</S>, Eli sat<S>3427</S> upon a seat<S>3678</S> by the wayside<S>3027</S> watching<S>6822</S>: for his heart<S>3820</S> trembled<S>2730</S> for the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>. And when the man<S>376</S> came<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, and told<S>5046</S> it<S>5892</S>, all the city cried out<S>2199</S>.


text:
And when Eli<S>5941</S> heard<S>8085</S> the noise<S>6963</S> of the crying<S>6818</S>, he said<S>559</S>, What means the noise<S>6963</S> of this tumult<S>1995</S>? And the man<S>376</S> came<S>935</S> in hastily<S>4116</S>, and told<S>5046</S> Eli<S>5941</S>.


text:
Now Eli<S>5941</S> was ninety<S>8673</S> and eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S>; and his eyes<S>5869</S> were dim<S>6965</S>, that he could<S>3201</S> not see<S>7200</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> unto Eli<S>5941</S>, I am he that came<S>935</S> out of the army<S>4634</S>, and I fled<S>5127</S> to day<S>3117</S> out of the army<S>4634</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, What is there done<S>1697</S>, my son<S>1121</S>?


text:
And the messenger<S>1319</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Israel<S>3478</S> is fled<S>5127</S> before<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and there has been also a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4046</S> among the people<S>5971</S>, and your two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> also<S>2652</S>, Hophni and Phinehas<S>6372</S>, are dead<S>4191</S>, and the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> is taken<S>3947</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>2142</S>, when he made mention of the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>, that he fell<S>5307</S> from off the seat<S>3678</S> backward<S>322</S> by<S>1157</S> the side<S>3027</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>, and his neck<S>4665</S> broke<S>7665</S>, and he died<S>4191</S>: for he was an old<S>2204</S> man<S>376</S>, and heavy<S>3513</S>. And he had judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And his daughter in law<S>3618</S>, Phinehas<S>6372</S>' wife<S>802</S>, was with child<S>2030</S>, near to be delivered<S>3205</S>: and when she heard<S>8085</S> the tidings<S>8052</S> that<S>413</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> was taken<S>3947</S>, and that her father in law<S>2524</S> and her husband<S>376</S> were dead<S>4191</S>, she bowed<S>3766</S> herself and travailed<S>3205</S>; for her pains<S>6735</S> came upon her<S>2015</S>.


text:
And about the time<S>6256</S> of her death<S>4191</S> the women that stood<S>5324</S> by her said<S>1696</S> unto her<S>3372</S>, Fear not<S>3205</S>; for you have born a son<S>1121</S>. But she answered<S>6030</S> not<S>7896</S>, neither did she regard it.


text:
And she named<S>7121</S> the child<S>5288</S> Ichabod<S>350</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The glory<S>3519</S> is departed<S>1540</S> from Israel<S>3478</S>: because<S>413</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> was taken<S>3947</S>, and because of her father in law<S>2524</S> and her husband<S>376</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, The glory<S>3519</S> is departed<S>1540</S> from Israel<S>3478</S>: for the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> is taken<S>3947</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> took<S>3947</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>, and brought<S>935</S> it from Eben<S>72</S>–ezer unto Ashdod<S>795</S>.

When the Philistines<S>6430</S> took<S>3947</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>, they brought<S>935</S> it into the house<S>1004</S> of Dagon<S>1712</S>, and set<S>3322</S> it by<S>681</S> Dagon<S>1712</S>.


text:
And when they of Ashdod<S>796</S> arose early<S>7925</S> on the next day<S>4283</S>, behold<S>1712</S>, Dagon was fallen<S>5307</S> upon his face<S>6440</S> to the earth<S>776</S> before<S>6440</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>. And they took<S>3947</S> Dagon<S>1712</S>, and set<S>7725</S> him in his place<S>4725</S> again<S>7725</S>.


text:
And when they arose early<S>7925</S> on the next day<S>4283</S> morning<S>1242</S>, behold<S>1712</S>, Dagon was fallen<S>5307</S> upon his face<S>6440</S> to the ground<S>776</S> before<S>6440</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>; and the head<S>7218</S> of Dagon<S>1712</S> and both<S>8147</S> the palms<S>3709</S> of his hands<S>3027</S> were cut off<S>3772</S> upon the threshold<S>4670</S>; only the stump of Dagon<S>1712</S> was left to him<S>7604</S>.


text:
Therefore neither the priests<S>3548</S> of Dagon<S>1712</S>, nor any that come<S>935</S> into Dagon<S>1712</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, tread<S>1869</S> on the threshold<S>4670</S> of Dagon<S>1712</S> in Ashdod<S>795</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
But the hand<S>3027</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was heavy<S>3513</S> upon them of Ashdod<S>796</S>, and he destroyed<S>8074</S> them<S>5221</S>, and struck them with ulcers<S>2914</S>, even Ashdod<S>795</S> and the coasts there<S>1366</S>.


text:
And when the men<S>582</S> of Ashdod<S>795</S> saw<S>7200</S> that it was so<S>559</S>, they said, The ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> shall not stay<S>3427</S> with us<S>3027</S>: for his hand is severe<S>7185</S> upon us<S>1712</S>, and upon Dagon our god<S>430</S>.


text:
They sent<S>7971</S> therefore and gathered<S>622</S> all the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> unto them<S>559</S>, and said, What shall we do<S>6213</S> with the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? And they answered<S>559</S>, Let the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> be carried about<S>5437</S> unto Gath<S>1661</S>. And they carried<S>5437</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> about there<S>5437</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>310</S>, that, after they had carried it about<S>5437</S>, the hand<S>3027</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was against the city<S>5892</S> with a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> destruction<S>4103</S>: and he struck<S>5221</S> the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, both small<S>6996</S> and great<S>1419</S>, and they had ulcers<S>2914</S> in their secret parts<S>8368</S>.


text:
Therefore they sent<S>7971</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> to Ekron<S>6138</S>. And it came to pass<S>727</S>, as the ark of God<S>430</S> came<S>935</S> to Ekron<S>6138</S>, that the Ekronites<S>6139</S> cried out<S>2199</S>, saying<S>559</S>, They have brought about<S>5437</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to us<S>4191</S>, to kill us and our people<S>5971</S>.


text:
So they sent<S>7971</S> and gathered together<S>622</S> all the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Send away<S>7971</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and let it go again<S>7725</S> to his own place<S>4725</S>, that it kill<S>4191</S> us not<S>5971</S>, and our people: for there was a deadly<S>4194</S> destruction<S>4103</S> throughout all the city<S>5892</S>; the hand<S>3027</S> of God<S>430</S> was very<S>3966</S> heavy there<S>3513</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> that died<S>4191</S> not were struck<S>5221</S> with the ulcers<S>2914</S>: and the cry<S>7775</S> of the city<S>5892</S> went up<S>5927</S> to heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
And the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was in the country<S>7704</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> seven<S>7651</S> months<S>2320</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> called<S>7121</S> for the priests<S>3548</S> and the diviners<S>7080</S>, saying<S>559</S>, What shall we do<S>6213</S> to the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>? tell<S>3045</S> us with which we shall send<S>7971</S> it to his place<S>4725</S>.


text:
And they said<S>559</S>, If you send away<S>7971</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, send<S>7971</S> it not empty<S>7387</S>; but in any wise<S>7725</S> return<S>7725</S> him a trespass offering<S>817</S>: then you shall be healed<S>7495</S>, and it shall be known<S>3045</S> to you why his hand<S>3027</S> is not removed from you<S>5493</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> they<S>817</S>, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return<S>7725</S> to him<S>559</S>? They answered, Five<S>2568</S> golden<S>2091</S> ulcers<S>2914</S>, and five<S>2568</S> golden<S>2091</S> mice<S>5909</S>, according to the number<S>4557</S> of the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>: for one<S>259</S> plague<S>4046</S> was on you all<S>5633</S>, and on your lords.


text:
Why you shall make<S>6213</S> images<S>6754</S> of your ulcers<S>2914</S>, and images<S>6754</S> of your mice<S>5909</S> that mar<S>7843</S> the land<S>776</S>; and you shall give<S>5414</S> glory<S>3519</S> unto the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: perhaps he will lighten<S>7043</S> his hand<S>3027</S> from off you<S>430</S>, and from off your gods, and from off your land<S>776</S>.


text:
Why then do you harden<S>3513</S> your hearts<S>3824</S>, as the Egyptians<S>4714</S> and Pharaoh<S>6547</S> hardened<S>3513</S> their hearts<S>3820</S>? when he had worked wonderfully<S>5953</S> among them<S>7971</S>, did they not let the people go, and they departed<S>3212</S>?


text:
Now therefore make<S>6213</S> a<S>259</S> new<S>2319</S> cart<S>5699</S>, and take<S>3947</S> two<S>8147</S> milk<S>5763</S> cows<S>6510</S>, on which there has come<S>5927</S> no yoke<S>5923</S>, and tie<S>631</S> the cows<S>6510</S> to the cart<S>5699</S>, and bring<S>7725</S> their calves<S>1121</S> home<S>1004</S> from them<S>310</S>:


text:
And take<S>3947</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and lay<S>5414</S> it upon the cart<S>5699</S>; and put<S>7760</S> the jewels<S>3627</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, which you return<S>7725</S> him for a trespass offering<S>817</S>, in a coffer<S>712</S> by the side<S>6654</S> there<S>7971</S>; and send it away, that it may go<S>1980</S>.


text:
And see<S>7200</S>, if it goes up<S>5927</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of his own coast<S>1366</S> to Beth<S>1053</S>–shemesh, then he has done<S>6213</S> us this great<S>1419</S> evil<S>7451</S>: but if not<S>3045</S>, then we shall know that it is not his hand<S>3027</S> that struck<S>5060</S> us<S>4745</S>; it was a chance that happened to us<S>1961</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> did so<S>6213</S>; and took<S>3947</S> two<S>8147</S> milk<S>5763</S> cows<S>6510</S>, and tied<S>631</S> them to the cart<S>5699</S>, and shut up<S>3607</S> their calves<S>1121</S> at home<S>1004</S>:


text:
And they laid<S>7760</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> upon the cart<S>5699</S>, and the coffer<S>712</S> with the mice<S>5909</S> of gold<S>2091</S> and the images<S>6754</S> of their ulcers<S>2914</S>.


text:
And the cows<S>6510</S> took the straight<S>3474</S> way<S>1870</S> to the way<S>1870</S> of Beth<S>1053</S>–shemesh, and went along<S>1980</S> the highway<S>4546</S>, lowing<S>1600</S> as they went<S>1980</S>, and turned not aside<S>5493</S> to the right hand<S>3225</S> or to the left<S>8040</S>; and the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> went<S>1980</S> after<S>310</S> them unto the border<S>1366</S> of Beth<S>1053</S>–shemesh.


text:
And they of Beth<S>1053</S>–shemesh were reaping<S>7114</S> their wheat<S>2406</S> harvest<S>7105</S> in the valley<S>6010</S>: and they lifted up<S>5375</S> their eyes<S>5869</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> the ark<S>727</S>, and rejoiced<S>8055</S> to see it<S>7200</S>.


text:
And the cart<S>5699</S> came<S>935</S> into the field<S>7704</S> of Joshua<S>3091</S>, a Beth<S>1030</S>–shemite, and stood<S>5975</S> there<S>1419</S>, where there was a great stone<S>68</S>: and they split<S>1234</S> the wood<S>6086</S> of the cart<S>5699</S>, and offered<S>5927</S> the cows<S>6510</S> a burnt offering<S>5930</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the Levites<S>3881</S> took down<S>3381</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the coffer<S>712</S> that was with it<S>3627</S>, where the jewels of gold<S>2091</S> were<S>7760</S>, and put them on the great<S>1419</S> stone<S>68</S>: and the men<S>582</S> of Beth<S>1053</S>–shemesh offered<S>5927</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S> and sacrificed<S>2076</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> the same day<S>3117</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And when the five<S>2568</S> lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> had seen<S>7200</S> it<S>7725</S>, they returned to Ekron<S>6138</S> the same day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And these are the golden<S>2091</S> ulcers<S>2914</S> which the Philistines<S>6430</S> returned<S>7725</S> for a trespass offering<S>817</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>; for Ashdod<S>795</S> one<S>259</S>, for Gaza<S>5804</S> one<S>259</S>, for Askelon<S>831</S> one<S>259</S>, for Gath<S>1661</S> one<S>259</S>, for Ekron<S>6138</S> one<S>259</S>;


text:
And the golden<S>2091</S> mice<S>5909</S>, according to the number<S>4557</S> of all the cities<S>5892</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> belonging to the five<S>2568</S> lords<S>5633</S>, both of fenced<S>4013</S> cities<S>5892</S>, and of country<S>6521</S> villages<S>3724</S>, even unto the great<S>1419</S> stone of Abel<S>59</S>, whereon they set down<S>3240</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: which stone remains unto this day<S>3117</S> in the field<S>7704</S> of Joshua<S>3091</S>, the Beth<S>1030</S>–shemite.


text:
And he struck<S>5221</S> the men<S>376</S> of Beth<S>1053</S>–shemesh, because they had looked<S>7200</S> into the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, even he struck<S>5221</S> of the people<S>5971</S> fifty<S>2572</S> thousand<S>505</S> and sixty and ten<S>7657</S> men<S>582</S>: and the people<S>5971</S> lamented<S>56</S>, because the Lord<S>3068</S> had struck<S>5221</S> many of the people<S>5971</S> with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of Beth<S>1053</S>–shemesh said<S>559</S>, Who is able<S>3201</S> to stand<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> this holy<S>6918</S> Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S>? and to whom shall he go up from us<S>5927</S>?


text:
And they sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Kirjath<S>7157</S>–jearim, saying<S>559</S>, The Philistines<S>6430</S> have brought again<S>7725</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>; come you down<S>3381</S>, and fetch it up to you<S>5927</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of Kirjath<S>7157</S>–jearim came<S>935</S>, and fetched up<S>5927</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and brought<S>935</S> it into the house<S>1004</S> of Abinadab<S>41</S> in the hill<S>1389</S>, and sanctified<S>6942</S> Eleazar<S>499</S> his son<S>1121</S> to keep<S>8104</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3117</S>, while the ark<S>727</S> lived<S>3427</S> in Kirjath<S>7157</S>–jearim, that the time<S>3117</S> was long<S>7235</S>; for it was twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S>: and all the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> lamented<S>5091</S> after<S>310</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> spoke<S>559</S> unto all the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, If you do return<S>7725</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> with all your hearts<S>3824</S>, then put away<S>5493</S> the strange<S>5236</S> gods<S>430</S> and Ashtaroth<S>6252</S> from among<S>8432</S> you<S>3559</S>, and prepare your hearts<S>3824</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, and serve<S>5647</S> him only<S>5337</S>: and he will deliver you out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
Then the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> did put away<S>5493</S> Baalim<S>1168</S> and Ashtaroth<S>6252</S>, and served<S>5647</S> the Lord only<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, Gather<S>6908</S> all Israel<S>3478</S> to Mizpeh<S>4708</S>, and I will pray<S>6419</S> for you unto the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And they gathered together<S>6908</S> to Mizpeh<S>4709</S>, and drew<S>7579</S> water<S>4325</S>, and poured it out<S>8210</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and fasted<S>6684</S> on that day<S>3117</S>, and said<S>559</S> there<S>2398</S>, We have sinned against the Lord<S>3068</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> judged<S>8199</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> in Mizpeh<S>4708</S>.


text:
And when the Philistines<S>6430</S> heard<S>8085</S> that the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were gathered together<S>6908</S> to Mizpeh<S>4708</S>, the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> went up<S>5927</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>. And when the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> heard<S>8085</S> it<S>3372</S>, they were afraid of<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, Cease<S>2790</S> not to cry<S>2199</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S> for us<S>3467</S>, that he will save us out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> a<S>259</S> sucking<S>2461</S> lamb<S>2924</S>, and offered<S>5927</S> it for a burnt offering<S>5930</S> wholly<S>3632</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>: and Samuel<S>8050</S> cried<S>2199</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> for Israel<S>3478</S>; and the Lord<S>3068</S> heard him<S>6030</S>.


text:
And as Samuel<S>8050</S> was offering up<S>5927</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S>, the Philistines<S>6430</S> drew near<S>5066</S> to battle<S>4421</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>: but the Lord<S>3068</S> thundered<S>7481</S> with a great<S>1419</S> thunder<S>6963</S> on that day<S>3117</S> upon the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and defeated<S>2000</S> them<S>5062</S>; and they were struck before<S>6440</S> Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went out<S>3318</S> of Mizpeh<S>4709</S>, and pursued<S>7291</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> them<S>1033</S>, until they came under Beth–car.


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> a<S>259</S> stone<S>68</S>, and set<S>7760</S> it between Mizpeh<S>4709</S> and Shen<S>8129</S>, and called<S>7121</S> the name<S>8034</S> of it Eben<S>72</S>–ezer, saying<S>559</S>, Until now has the Lord<S>3068</S> helped us<S>5826</S>.


text:
So the Philistines<S>6430</S> were subdued<S>3665</S>, and they came<S>935</S> no more<S>3254</S> into the coast<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: and the hand<S>3027</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was against the Philistines<S>6430</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of Samuel<S>8050</S>.


text:
And the cities<S>5892</S> which the Philistines<S>6430</S> had taken<S>3947</S> from Israel<S>3478</S> were restored<S>7725</S> to Israel<S>3478</S>, from Ekron<S>6138</S> even unto Gath<S>1661</S>; and the coasts<S>1366</S> there did Israel<S>3478</S> deliver<S>5337</S> out of the hands<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>. And there was peace<S>7965</S> between Israel<S>3478</S> and the Amorites<S>567</S>.

And Samuel<S>8050</S> judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>.


text:
And he went<S>1980</S> from<S>1767</S> year<S>8141</S> to year<S>8141</S> in circuit<S>5437</S> to Beth<S>1008</S>–el, and Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and Mizpeh<S>4709</S>, and judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> in all those places<S>4725</S>.


text:
And his return<S>8666</S> was to Ramah<S>7414</S>; for there was his house<S>1004</S>; and there he judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; and there he built<S>1129</S> an altar<S>4196</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>8050</S>, when Samuel was old<S>2204</S>, that he made<S>7760</S> his sons<S>1121</S> judges<S>8199</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Now the name<S>8034</S> of his firstborn<S>1121</S> was Joel<S>3100</S>; and the name<S>8034</S> of his second<S>4932</S>, Abiah<S>29</S>: they were judges<S>8199</S> in Beer<S>884</S>–sheba.


text:
And his sons<S>1121</S> walked<S>1980</S> not in his ways<S>1870</S>, but turned aside<S>5186</S> after<S>310</S> lucre<S>1215</S>, and took<S>3947</S> bribes<S>7810</S>, and perverted<S>5186</S> judgment<S>4941</S>.


text:
Then all the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> gathered themselves together<S>6908</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S> unto Ramah<S>7414</S>,


text:
And said<S>559</S> unto him<S>2204</S>, Behold, you are old, and your sons<S>1121</S> walk<S>1980</S> not in your ways<S>1870</S>: now make<S>7760</S> us a king<S>4428</S> to judge<S>8199</S> us like all the nations<S>1471</S>.


text:
But the thing<S>1697</S> displeased<S>3415</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, when they said<S>559</S>, Give<S>5414</S> us a king<S>4428</S> to judge<S>8199</S> us<S>8050</S>. And Samuel prayed<S>6419</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samuel<S>8050</S>, Listen<S>8085</S> unto the voice<S>6963</S> of the people<S>5971</S> in all that they say<S>559</S> unto you<S>3988</S>: for they have not rejected you<S>3988</S>, but they have rejected me<S>4427</S>, that I should not reign over them.


text:
According to all the works<S>4639</S> which they have done<S>6213</S> since the day<S>3117</S> that I brought them up<S>5927</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S> even unto this day<S>3117</S>, with which they have forsaken<S>5800</S> me<S>5647</S>, and served other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, so do they also unto you<S>6213</S>.


text:
Now therefore listen<S>8085</S> unto their voice<S>6963</S>: but<S>389</S> yet protest<S>5749</S> solemnly<S>5749</S> unto them<S>5046</S>, and show them the manner<S>4941</S> of the king<S>4428</S> that shall reign over them<S>4427</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> told<S>559</S> all the words<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> unto the people<S>5971</S> that asked<S>7592</S> of him a king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, This will be the manner<S>4941</S> of the king<S>4428</S> that shall reign<S>4427</S> over you<S>3947</S>: He will take your sons<S>1121</S>, and appoint<S>7760</S> them for himself<S>4818</S>, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen<S>6571</S>; and some shall run<S>7323</S> before<S>6440</S> his chariots<S>4818</S>.


text:
And he will appoint<S>7760</S> him captains<S>8269</S> over thousands<S>505</S>, and captains<S>8269</S> over fifties<S>2572</S>; and will set them to plow<S>2790</S> his ground<S>2758</S>, and to reap<S>7114</S> his harvest<S>7105</S>, and to make<S>6213</S> his instruments<S>3627</S> of war<S>4421</S>, and instruments<S>3627</S> of his chariots<S>7393</S>.


text:
And he will take<S>3947</S> your daughters<S>1323</S> to be confectionaries<S>7548</S>, and to be cooks<S>2879</S>, and to be bakers<S>644</S>.


text:
And he will take<S>3947</S> your fields<S>7704</S>, and your vineyards<S>3754</S>, and your oliveyards<S>2132</S>, even the best<S>2896</S> of them<S>5414</S>, and give them to his servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
And he will take the tenth<S>6237</S> of your seed<S>2233</S>, and of your vineyards<S>3754</S>, and give<S>5414</S> to his officers<S>5631</S>, and to his servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
And he will take<S>3947</S> your menservants<S>5650</S>, and your maidservants<S>8198</S>, and your best<S>2896</S> young men<S>970</S>, and your donkeys<S>2543</S>, and put<S>6213</S> them to his work<S>4399</S>.


text:
He will take the tenth<S>6237</S> of your sheep<S>6629</S>: and you shall be his servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
And you shall cry out<S>2199</S> in that day<S>3117</S> because<S>6440</S> of your king<S>4428</S> which you shall have chosen<S>977</S> you<S>3068</S>; and the Lord will not hear<S>6030</S> you in that day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Nevertheless the people<S>5971</S> refused<S>3985</S> to obey<S>8085</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of Samuel<S>8050</S>; and they said<S>559</S>, No<S>4428</S>; but we will have a king over us;


text:
That we also may be like all the nations<S>1471</S>; and that our king<S>4428</S> may judge<S>8199</S> us<S>3318</S>, and go out before<S>6440</S> us<S>3898</S>, and fight our battles<S>4421</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> heard<S>8085</S> all the words<S>1697</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, and he rehearsed<S>1696</S> them in the ears<S>241</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, Listen<S>8085</S> unto their voice<S>6963</S>, and make<S>4427</S> them a king<S>4428</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Go<S>3212</S> you every man<S>376</S> unto his city<S>5892</S>.


text:
Now there was a man<S>376</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Kish<S>7027</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Abiel<S>22</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Zeror<S>6872</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Bechorath<S>1064</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Aphiah<S>647</S>, a Benjamite<S>1145</S>, a mighty<S>1368</S> man<S>376</S> of power<S>2428</S>.


text:
And he had a son<S>1121</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Saul<S>7586</S>, a choice young man<S>970</S>, and good<S>2896</S>: and there was not among the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> a better<S>2896</S> person<S>376</S> than he<S>7926</S>: from his shoulders and upward<S>4605</S> he was higher<S>1364</S> than any of the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And the donkeys<S>860</S> of Kish<S>7027</S> Saul<S>7586</S>'s father<S>1</S> were lost<S>6</S>. And Kish<S>7027</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S> his son<S>1121</S>, Take<S>3947</S> now one<S>259</S> of the servants<S>5288</S> with you<S>6965</S>, and arise, go<S>3212</S> seek<S>1245</S> the donkeys<S>860</S>.


text:
And he passed through<S>5674</S> mountain<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>, and passed through<S>5674</S> the land<S>776</S> of Shalisha<S>8031</S>, but they found<S>4672</S> them not<S>5674</S>: then they passed through the land<S>776</S> of Shalim<S>8171</S>, and there they were not<S>5674</S>: and he passed through the land<S>776</S> of the Benjamites<S>1145</S>, but they found them not<S>4672</S>.


text:
And when they were come<S>935</S> to the land<S>776</S> of Zuph<S>6689</S>, Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to his servant<S>5288</S> that was with him<S>3212</S>, Come, and let us return<S>7725</S>; lest my father<S>1</S> leave<S>2308</S> caring for the donkeys<S>860</S>, and take thought for us<S>1672</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5892</S>, Behold now, there is in this city a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and he is an honorable<S>3513</S> man<S>376</S>; all that he says<S>1696</S> comes<S>935</S> surely to pass<S>935</S>: now let us go<S>3212</S> there<S>5046</S>; perhaps he can show us our way<S>1870</S> that we should go<S>1980</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Saul<S>7586</S> to his servant<S>5288</S>, But<S>3212</S>, behold, if we go, what shall we bring<S>935</S> the man<S>376</S>? for the bread<S>3899</S> is spent<S>235</S> in our vessels<S>3627</S>, and there is not a present<S>8670</S> to bring<S>935</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>: what have we?


text:
And the servant<S>5288</S> answered<S>6030</S> Saul<S>7586</S> again<S>3254</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>4672</S>, I have here at hand<S>3027</S> the fourth part<S>7253</S> of a shekel<S>8255</S> of silver<S>3701</S>: that will I give<S>5414</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, to tell<S>5046</S> us our way<S>1870</S>.


text:
(Previously<S>6440</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, when a man<S>376</S> went<S>3212</S> to inquire<S>1875</S> of God<S>430</S>, thus he spoke<S>559</S>, Come<S>3212</S>, and let us go<S>3212</S> to the seer<S>7200</S>: for he that is now<S>3117</S> called a Prophet<S>5030</S> was previously<S>6440</S> called<S>7121</S> a Seer<S>7200</S>.)


text:
Then said<S>1697</S> Saul<S>7586</S> to his servant<S>5288</S>, Well<S>2896</S> said<S>559</S>; come<S>3212</S>, let us go<S>3212</S>. So they went<S>3212</S> unto the city<S>5892</S> where the man<S>376</S> of God was<S>430</S>.


text:
And as they went up<S>5927</S> the hill<S>4608</S> to the city<S>5892</S>, they found<S>4672</S> young maidens<S>5291</S> going out<S>3318</S> to draw<S>7579</S> water<S>4325</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3426</S>, Is the seer here<S>7200</S>?


text:
And they answered<S>6030</S> them<S>559</S>, and said, He is<S>3426</S>; behold<S>6440</S>, he is before you<S>4116</S>: make hurry now<S>935</S>, for he came to day<S>3117</S> to the city<S>5892</S>; for there is a sacrifice<S>2077</S> of the people<S>5971</S> to day<S>3117</S> in the high place<S>1116</S>:


text:
As soon as you be come<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, you shall directly<S>3651</S> find<S>4672</S> him<S>5927</S>, before he go up to the high place<S>1116</S> to eat<S>398</S>: for the people<S>5971</S> will not eat<S>398</S> until he come<S>935</S>, because he does bless<S>1288</S> the sacrifice<S>2077</S>; and afterwards<S>310</S> they eat<S>398</S> that are invited<S>7121</S>. Now therefore get you up<S>5927</S>; for about this time<S>3117</S> you shall find him<S>4672</S>.


text:
And they went up<S>5927</S> into<S>8432</S> the city<S>5892</S>: and when they were come<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, behold<S>8050</S>, Samuel came out<S>3318</S> against<S>7125</S> them<S>5927</S>, for to go up to the high place<S>1116</S>.


text:
Now the Lord<S>3068</S> had told<S>1540</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> in his ear<S>241</S> a<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S> before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S> came<S>935</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Tomorrow<S>4279</S> about this time<S>6256</S> I will send<S>7971</S> you a man<S>376</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and you shall anoint<S>4886</S> him to be captain<S>5057</S> over my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, that he may save<S>3467</S> my people<S>5971</S> out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>: for I have looked<S>7200</S> upon my people<S>5971</S>, because their cry<S>6818</S> is come unto me<S>935</S>.


text:
And when Samuel<S>8050</S> saw<S>7200</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>6030</S> unto him<S>376</S>, Behold the man whom I spoke<S>559</S> to you of<S>6113</S>! this same shall reign over my people<S>5971</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> drew near<S>5066</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S> in<S>8432</S> the gate<S>8179</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Tell<S>5046</S> me<S>335</S>, I pray you, where the seer<S>7200</S>'s house is<S>1004</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> answered<S>6030</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I am the seer<S>7200</S>: go up<S>5927</S> before<S>6440</S> me unto the high place<S>1116</S>; for you shall eat<S>398</S> with me today<S>3117</S>, and tomorrow<S>1242</S> I will let you go<S>7971</S>, and will tell<S>5046</S> you all that is in your heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
And as for your donkeys<S>860</S> that were lost<S>6</S> three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S> ago<S>3117</S>, set<S>7760</S> not your mind<S>3820</S> on them<S>4672</S>; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire<S>2532</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? Is it not on you<S>1</S>, and on all your father's house<S>1004</S>?


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Am not I a Benjamite<S>1145</S>, of the smallest<S>6996</S> of the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? and my family<S>4940</S> the least<S>6810</S> of all the families<S>4940</S> of the tribe<S>7626</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>? why then speak<S>1696</S> you so to me<S>1697</S>?


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> Saul<S>7586</S> and his servant<S>5288</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them into the parlour<S>3957</S>, and made them sit<S>5414</S> in the best<S>7218</S> place<S>4725</S> among them that were bidden<S>7121</S>, which were about thirty<S>7970</S> persons<S>376</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto the cook<S>2876</S>, Bring<S>5414</S> the portion<S>4490</S> which I gave<S>5414</S> you<S>559</S>, of which I said unto you<S>7760</S>, Set it by you.


text:
And the cook<S>2876</S> took up<S>7311</S> the shoulder<S>7785</S>, and that which was upon it<S>7760</S>, and set it before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S>. And Samuel said<S>559</S>, Behold that which is left<S>7604</S>! set<S>7760</S> it before<S>6440</S> you<S>398</S>, and eat: for unto this time<S>4150</S> has it been kept<S>8104</S> for you since I said<S>559</S>, I have invited<S>7121</S> the people<S>5971</S>. So Saul<S>7586</S> did eat<S>398</S> with Samuel<S>8050</S> that day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And when they were come down<S>3381</S> from the high place<S>1116</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, Samuel talked<S>1696</S> with Saul<S>7586</S> upon the top of the house<S>1406</S>.


text:
And they arose early<S>7925</S>: and it came to pass about the spring<S>5927</S> of the day<S>7837</S>, that Samuel<S>8050</S> called<S>7121</S> Saul<S>7586</S> to the top of the house<S>1406</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Up<S>6965</S>, that I may send you away<S>7971</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and they went out<S>3318</S> both<S>8147</S> of them<S>8050</S>, he and Samuel, abroad<S>2351</S>.


text:
And as they were going down<S>3381</S> to the end<S>7097</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, Bid<S>559</S> the servant<S>5288</S> pass on<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> us<S>5674</S>, (and he passed on,) but stand<S>5975</S> you still a while<S>3117</S>, that I may show<S>8085</S> you the word<S>1697</S> of God<S>430</S>.

Paul,<S>3972</S> and<S>2532</S> Silvanus,<S>4610</S> and<S>2532</S> Timothy,<S>5095</S> unto the<S>3588</S> church<S>1577</S> of the Thessalonians<S>2331</S> <i>which is</i> in<S>1722</S> God<S>2316</S> the Father<S>3962</S> and<S>2532</S> <i>in</i> the Lord<S>2962</S> Jesus<S>2424</S> Christ:<S>5547</S> Grace<S>5485</S> <i>be</i> unto you,<S>5213</S> and<S>2532</S> peace,<S>1515</S> from<S>575</S> God<S>2316</S> our<S>2257</S> Father,<S>3962</S> and<S>2532</S> the Lord<S>2962</S> Jesus<S>2424</S> Christ.<S>5547</S>

O<S>5599</S> Timothy<S>5095</S>, keep<S>5442</S> that which is committed to your trust<S>3872</S>, avoiding<S>1624</S> profane<S>952</S> and vain babblings<S>2757</S>, and<S>2532</S> oppositions<S>477</S> of knowledge<S>1108</S> falsely so called<S>5581</S>:

And Solomon<S>8010</S> the son<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S> was strengthened<S>2388</S> in<S>5921</S> his kingdom,<S>4438</S> and the LORD<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S> <i>was</i> with<S>5973</S> him, and magnified<S>1431</S> him exceedingly.<S>4605</S>


text:
Then Solomon<S>8010</S> spoke<S>559</S> unto all Israel<S>3478</S>, to the captains<S>8269</S> of thousands<S>505</S> and of hundreds<S>3967</S>, and to the judges<S>8199</S>, and to every governor<S>5387</S> in all Israel<S>3478</S>, the chief<S>7218</S> of the fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
So Solomon<S>8010</S>, and all the congregation<S>6951</S> with him<S>3212</S>, went to the high place<S>1116</S> that was at Gibeon<S>1391</S>; for there was the tabernacle<S>168</S> of the congregation<S>4150</S> of God<S>430</S>, which Moses<S>4872</S> the servant<S>5650</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> had made<S>6213</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
But<S>61</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> had David<S>1732</S> brought up<S>5927</S> from Kirjath<S>7157</S>–jearim to the place which David<S>1732</S> had prepared<S>3559</S> for it<S>5186</S>: for he had pitched a tent<S>168</S> for it at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Moreover the bronze<S>5178</S> altar<S>4196</S>, that Bezaleel<S>1212</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Uri<S>221</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Hur<S>2354</S>, had made<S>6213</S>, he put<S>7760</S> before<S>6440</S> the tabernacle<S>4908</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: and Solomon<S>8010</S> and the congregation<S>6951</S> sought unto it<S>1875</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> went up<S>5927</S> there to the bronze<S>5178</S> altar<S>4196</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, which was at the tabernacle<S>168</S> of the congregation<S>4150</S>, and offered<S>5927</S> a thousand<S>505</S> burnt offerings upon it<S>5930</S>.


text:
In that night<S>3915</S> did God<S>430</S> appear<S>7200</S> unto Solomon<S>8010</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7592</S>, Ask what I shall give you<S>5414</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> said<S>559</S> unto God<S>430</S>, You have showed<S>6213</S> great<S>1419</S> mercy<S>2617</S> unto David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, and have made me to reign in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
Now<S>3068</S>, O Lord God<S>430</S>, let your promise<S>1697</S> unto David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> be established<S>539</S>: for you have made me king<S>4427</S> over a people<S>5971</S> like the dust<S>6083</S> of the earth<S>776</S> in multitude<S>7227</S>.


text:
Give<S>5414</S> me now wisdom<S>2451</S> and knowledge<S>4093</S>, that I may go out<S>3318</S> and come in<S>935</S> before<S>6440</S> this people<S>5971</S>: for who can judge<S>8199</S> this your people<S>5971</S>, that is so great<S>1419</S>?


text:
And God<S>430</S> said<S>559</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S>, Because this was in your heart<S>3824</S>, and you have not asked<S>7592</S> riches<S>6239</S>, wealth<S>5233</S>, or honor<S>3519</S>, nor the life<S>5315</S> of your enemies<S>8130</S>, neither yet have asked<S>7592</S> long<S>7227</S> life<S>3117</S>; but have asked<S>7592</S> wisdom<S>2451</S> and knowledge<S>4093</S> for yourself<S>8199</S>, that you may judge my people<S>5971</S>, over whom I have made you king<S>4427</S>:


text:
Wisdom<S>2451</S> and knowledge<S>4093</S> is granted<S>5414</S> unto you<S>5414</S>; and I will give you riches<S>6239</S>, and wealth<S>5233</S>, and honor<S>3519</S>, such as none of the kings<S>4428</S> have had that have been before<S>6440</S> you<S>310</S>, neither shall there any after you have the like.

Then Solomon<S>8010</S> came<S>935</S> from his journey to the high place<S>1116</S> that was at Gibeon<S>1391</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, from before<S>6440</S> the tabernacle<S>168</S> of the congregation<S>4150</S>, and reigned<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> gathered<S>622</S> chariots<S>7393</S> and horsemen<S>6571</S>: and he had a thousand<S>505</S> and four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> chariots<S>7393</S>, and twelve<S>8147</S> thousand<S>505</S> horsemen<S>6571</S>, which he placed<S>3240</S> in the chariot<S>7393</S> cities<S>5892</S>, and with the king<S>4428</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> made<S>5414</S> silver<S>3701</S> and gold<S>2091</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S> as plentiful as stones<S>68</S>, and cedar trees<S>730</S> made<S>5414</S> he as the sycamore trees<S>8256</S> that are in the valley<S>8219</S> for abundance<S>7230</S>.


text:
And they fetched up<S>5927</S>, and brought forth<S>3318</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S> a chariot<S>4818</S> for six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> shekels of silver<S>3701</S>, and a horse<S>5483</S> for an hundred<S>3967</S> and fifty<S>2572</S>: and so brought they out<S>3318</S> horses for all the kings<S>4428</S> of the Hittites<S>2850</S>, and for the kings<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, by their means<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Rehoboam<S>7346</S> went<S>3212</S> to Shechem<S>7927</S>: for to Shechem<S>7927</S> were all Israel<S>3478</S> come<S>935</S> to make him king<S>4427</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3379</S>, when Jeroboam the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, who was in Egypt<S>4714</S>, where he had fled<S>1272</S> from the presence<S>6440</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> the king<S>4428</S>, heard<S>8085</S> it<S>3379</S>, that Jeroboam returned<S>7725</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
And they sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> him<S>3379</S>. So Jeroboam and all Israel<S>3478</S> came<S>935</S> and spoke<S>1696</S> to Rehoboam<S>7346</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Your father<S>1</S> made our yoke<S>5923</S> severe<S>7185</S>: now therefore ease<S>7043</S> you somewhat the severe<S>7186</S> servitude<S>5656</S> of your father<S>1</S>, and his heavy<S>3515</S> yoke<S>5923</S> that he put<S>5414</S> upon us<S>5647</S>, and we will serve you.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>7725</S>, Come again unto me after three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S>. And the people<S>5971</S> departed<S>3212</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> took counsel<S>3289</S> with the old<S>2205</S> men that had stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> his father<S>1</S> while he yet lived<S>2416</S>, saying<S>559</S>, What<S>349</S> counsel give<S>3289</S> you me to return<S>7725</S> answer<S>1697</S> to this people<S>5971</S>?


text:
And they spoke<S>1696</S> unto him<S>559</S>, saying, If you are kind<S>2896</S> to this people<S>5971</S>, and please<S>7521</S> them<S>1696</S>, and speak good<S>2896</S> words<S>1697</S> to them<S>5650</S>, they will be your servants for ever<S>3117</S>.


text:
But he forsook<S>5800</S> the counsel<S>6098</S> which the old men<S>2205</S> gave<S>3289</S> him<S>3289</S>, and took counsel with the young men<S>3206</S> that were brought up<S>1431</S> with him<S>5975</S>, that stood before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3289</S>, What advice give you that we may return<S>7725</S> answer<S>1697</S> to this people<S>5971</S>, which have spoken<S>1696</S> to me<S>559</S>, saying, Ease<S>7043</S> somewhat the yoke<S>5923</S> that your father<S>1</S> did put upon us<S>5414</S>?


text:
And the young men<S>3206</S> that were brought up<S>1431</S> with him spoke<S>1696</S> unto him<S>559</S>, saying, Thus shall you answer<S>559</S> the people<S>5971</S> that spoke<S>1696</S> unto you<S>559</S>, saying, Your father<S>1</S> made<S>3513</S> our yoke<S>5923</S> heavy<S>3513</S>, but make you it somewhat lighter<S>7043</S> for us<S>559</S>; thus shall you say unto them<S>6995</S>, My little finger shall be thicker<S>5666</S> than my father<S>1</S>'s body<S>4975</S>.


text:
For whereas<S>6258</S> my father<S>1</S> put<S>6006</S> a heavy<S>3515</S> yoke<S>5923</S> upon you<S>3254</S>, I will put more to your yoke<S>5923</S>: my father<S>1</S> chastised<S>3256</S> you with whips<S>7752</S>, but I will chastise you with scorpions<S>6137</S>.


text:
So Jeroboam<S>3379</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> came<S>935</S> to Rehoboam<S>7346</S> on the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S>, as the king<S>4428</S> told<S>1696</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Come again<S>7725</S> to me on the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> answered<S>6030</S> them roughly<S>7186</S>; and king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> forsook<S>5800</S> the counsel<S>6098</S> of the old men<S>2205</S>,


text:
And answered<S>1696</S> them after the advice<S>6098</S> of the young men<S>3206</S>, saying<S>559</S>, My father<S>1</S> made your yoke<S>5923</S> heavy<S>3513</S>, but I will add<S>3254</S> thereto<S>1</S>: my father chastised<S>3256</S> you with whips<S>7752</S>, but I will chastise you with scorpions<S>6137</S>.


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> listened<S>8085</S> not unto the people<S>5971</S>: for the cause<S>5252</S> was of God<S>430</S>, that the Lord<S>3068</S> might perform<S>6965</S> his word<S>1697</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of Ahijah<S>281</S> the Shilonite<S>7888</S> to Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>.


text:
And when all Israel<S>3478</S> saw<S>7200</S> that the king<S>4428</S> would not listen<S>8085</S> unto them<S>5971</S>, the people answered<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>559</S>, What portion<S>2506</S> have we in David<S>1732</S>? and we have none inheritance<S>5159</S> in the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S>: every man<S>376</S> to your tents<S>168</S>, O Israel<S>3478</S>: and now<S>1732</S>, David, see<S>7200</S> to your own house<S>1004</S>. So all Israel<S>3478</S> went<S>3212</S> to their tents<S>168</S>.


text:
But as for the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that lived<S>3427</S> in the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, Rehoboam<S>7346</S> reigned over them<S>4427</S>.


text:
Then king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> sent<S>7971</S> Hadoram<S>1913</S> that was over the tribute<S>4522</S>; and the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> stoned<S>7275</S> him with stones<S>68</S>, that he died<S>4191</S>. But king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> made speed<S>553</S> to get him up<S>5927</S> to his chariot<S>4818</S>, to flee<S>5127</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And Israel<S>3478</S> rebelled<S>6586</S> against the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And when Rehoboam<S>7346</S> was come<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, he gathered<S>6950</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S> an hundred<S>3967</S> and eighty<S>8084</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>6213</S>, which were warriors, to fight<S>3898</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, that he might bring<S>7725</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> again<S>7725</S> to Rehoboam<S>7346</S>.


text:
But the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came to Shemaiah<S>8098</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Speak<S>559</S> unto Rehoboam<S>7346</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and to all Israel<S>3478</S> in Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, You shall not go up<S>5927</S>, nor fight<S>3898</S> against your brothers<S>251</S>: return<S>7725</S> every man<S>376</S> to his house<S>1004</S>: for this thing<S>1697</S> is done<S>1961</S> of me<S>8085</S>. And they obeyed the words<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and returned<S>7725</S> from going<S>3212</S> against Jeroboam<S>3379</S>.


text:
And Rehoboam<S>7346</S> lived<S>3427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and built<S>1129</S> cities<S>5892</S> for defense<S>4692</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And Zorah<S>6881</S>, and Aijalon<S>357</S>, and Hebron<S>2275</S>, which are in Judah<S>3063</S> and in Benjamin<S>1144</S> fenced<S>4694</S> cities<S>5892</S>.


text:
And he fortified<S>2388</S> the strong holds<S>4694</S>, and put<S>5414</S> captains<S>5057</S> in them<S>214</S>, and store of food<S>3978</S>, and of oil<S>8081</S> and wine<S>3196</S>.


text:
And in every several city<S>5892</S> he put shields<S>6793</S> and spears<S>7420</S>, and made them exceedingly<S>7235</S> strong<S>2388</S>, having Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin on his side<S>1144</S>.


text:
And the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S> that were in all Israel<S>3478</S> resorted<S>3320</S> to him out of all their coasts<S>1366</S>.


text:
For the Levites<S>3881</S> left<S>5800</S> their suburbs<S>4054</S> and their possession<S>272</S>, and came<S>3212</S> to Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: for Jeroboam<S>3379</S> and his sons<S>1121</S> had cast them off<S>2186</S> from executing the priest<S>3547</S>'s office unto the Lord<S>3068</S>:


text:
And he ordained<S>5975</S> him priests<S>3548</S> for the high places<S>1116</S>, and for the demons<S>8163</S>, and for the calves<S>5695</S> which he had made<S>6213</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> them out of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> such as set<S>5414</S> their hearts<S>3824</S> to seek<S>1245</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, to sacrifice<S>2076</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
So they strengthened<S>2388</S> the kingdom<S>4438</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and made Rehoboam<S>7346</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> strong<S>553</S>, three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>: for three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> they walked<S>1980</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of David<S>1732</S> and Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
And Rehoboam<S>7346</S> took<S>3947</S> him Mahalath<S>4258</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Jerimoth<S>3406</S> the son<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S> to wife<S>802</S>, and Abihail<S>32</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Eliab<S>446</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S>;


text:
Which bore<S>3205</S> him sons<S>1121</S>; Jeush<S>3266</S>, and Shamariah<S>8114</S>, and Zaham<S>2093</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> her he took<S>3947</S> Maachah<S>4601</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Absalom<S>53</S>; which bore<S>3205</S> him Abijah<S>29</S>, and Attai<S>6262</S>, and Ziza<S>2124</S>, and Shelomith<S>8019</S>.

And Rehoboam<S>7346</S> loved<S>157</S> Maachah<S>4601</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Absalom<S>53</S> above all his wives<S>802</S> and his concubines<S>6370</S>: (for he took<S>5375</S> eighteen<S>8083</S> wives<S>802</S>, and sixty<S>8346</S> concubines<S>6370</S>; and fathered<S>3205</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and eight<S>8083</S> sons<S>1121</S>, and sixty<S>8346</S> daughters<S>1323</S>.)


text:
And Rehoboam<S>7346</S> made<S>5975</S> Abijah<S>29</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Maachah<S>4601</S> the chief<S>7218</S>, to be ruler<S>5057</S> among his brothers<S>251</S>: for he thought to make him king<S>4427</S>.


text:
And he dealt wisely<S>995</S>, and dispersed<S>6555</S> of all his sons<S>1121</S> throughout all the countries<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>, unto every fenced<S>4694</S> city<S>5892</S>: and he gave<S>5414</S> them food<S>4202</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>. And he desired<S>7592</S> many<S>1995</S> wives<S>802</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>7346</S>, when Rehoboam had established<S>3559</S> the kingdom<S>4438</S>, and had strengthened<S>2393</S> himself<S>5800</S>, he forsook the law<S>8451</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and all Israel with him<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>2549</S>, that in the fifth year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> Shishak<S>7895</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> came up<S>5927</S> against Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, because they had transgressed<S>4603</S> against the Lord<S>3068</S>,


text:
With twelve hundred<S>3967</S> chariots<S>7393</S>, and sixty<S>8346</S> thousand<S>505</S> horsemen<S>6571</S>: and the people<S>5971</S> were outside number<S>4557</S> that came<S>935</S> with him out of Egypt<S>4714</S>; the Lubims<S>3864</S>, the Sukkiims<S>5525</S>, and the Ethiopians<S>3569</S>.


text:
And he took<S>3920</S> the fenced<S>4694</S> cities<S>5892</S> which pertained to Judah<S>3063</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Then came<S>935</S> Shemaiah<S>8098</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> to Rehoboam<S>7346</S>, and to the princes<S>8269</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, that were gathered together<S>622</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> because<S>6440</S> of Shishak<S>7895</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>559</S>, Thus says the Lord<S>3068</S>, You have forsaken<S>5800</S> me<S>637</S>, and therefore have I also left<S>5800</S> you in the hand<S>3027</S> of Shishak<S>7895</S>.


text:
Whereupon the princes<S>8269</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and the king<S>4428</S> humbled<S>3665</S> themselves<S>559</S>; and they said, The Lord<S>3068</S> is righteous<S>6662</S>.


text:
And when the Lord<S>3068</S> saw<S>7200</S> that they humbled<S>3665</S> themselves<S>1697</S>, the word of the Lord<S>3068</S> came to Shemaiah<S>8098</S>, saying<S>559</S>, They have humbled<S>3665</S> themselves<S>7843</S>; therefore I will not destroy them<S>5414</S>, but I will grant them some<S>4592</S> deliverance<S>6413</S>; and my wrath<S>2534</S> shall not be poured out<S>5413</S> upon Jerusalem<S>3389</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of Shishak<S>7895</S>.


text:
Nevertheless they shall be his servants<S>5650</S>; that they may know<S>3045</S> my service<S>5656</S>, and the service<S>5656</S> of the kingdoms<S>4467</S> of the countries<S>776</S>.


text:
So Shishak<S>7895</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> came up<S>5927</S> against Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and took away<S>3947</S> the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>; he took<S>3947</S> all<S>3947</S>: he carried away also the shields<S>4043</S> of gold<S>2091</S> which Solomon<S>8010</S> had made<S>6213</S>.


text:
Then king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> made<S>6213</S> shields<S>4043</S> of brass<S>5178</S>, and committed<S>6485</S> them to the hands<S>3027</S> of the chief<S>8269</S> of the guard<S>7323</S>, that kept<S>8104</S> the entrance<S>6607</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And when<S>1767</S> the king<S>4428</S> entered<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, the guard<S>7323</S> came<S>935</S> and fetched<S>5375</S> them<S>7725</S>, and brought them again into the guard<S>7323</S> chamber<S>8372</S>.


text:
And when he humbled<S>3665</S> himself<S>639</S>, the wrath of the Lord<S>3068</S> turned<S>7725</S> from him<S>7843</S>, that he would not destroy him altogether<S>3617</S>: and also in Judah<S>3063</S> things<S>1697</S> went well<S>2896</S>.


text:
So king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> strengthened<S>2388</S> himself in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and reigned<S>4427</S>: for Rehoboam<S>7346</S> was one<S>259</S> and forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> seventeen<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, the city<S>5892</S> which the Lord<S>3068</S> had chosen<S>977</S> out of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to put<S>7760</S> his name<S>8034</S> there<S>517</S>. And his mother's name<S>8034</S> was Naamah<S>5279</S> an Ammonitess<S>5985</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S>, because he prepared<S>3559</S> not his heart<S>3820</S> to seek<S>1875</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Now the acts<S>1697</S> of Rehoboam<S>7346</S>, first<S>7223</S> and last<S>314</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>1697</S> of Shemaiah<S>8098</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>, and of Iddo<S>5714</S> the seer<S>2374</S> concerning genealogies<S>3187</S>? And there were wars<S>4421</S> between Rehoboam<S>7346</S> and Jeroboam<S>3379</S> continually<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Rehoboam<S>7346</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and Abijah<S>29</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
Now in the eighteenth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S> began Abijah<S>29</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
He reigned<S>4427</S> three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. His mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> also was Michaiah<S>4322</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Uriel<S>222</S> of Gibeah<S>1390</S>. And there was war<S>4421</S> between Abijah<S>29</S> and Jeroboam<S>3379</S>.


text:
And Abijah<S>29</S> set<S>631</S> the battle<S>4421</S> in array<S>631</S> with an army<S>2428</S> of valiant men<S>1368</S> of war<S>4421</S>, even four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>376</S>: Jeroboam<S>3379</S> also set the battle<S>4421</S> in array<S>6186</S> against him with eight<S>8083</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>376</S>, being mighty men<S>1368</S> of valor<S>2428</S>.


text:
And Abijah<S>29</S> stood up<S>6965</S> upon mountain<S>2022</S> Zemaraim<S>6787</S>, which is in mountain<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Hear<S>8085</S> me<S>3379</S>, you Jeroboam, and all Israel<S>3478</S>;


text:
Should you not know<S>3045</S> that the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> gave<S>5414</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> to David<S>1732</S> for ever<S>5769</S>, even to him and to his sons<S>1121</S> by a covenant<S>1285</S> of salt<S>4417</S>?


text:
Yet Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, the servant<S>5650</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> the son<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S>, is risen up<S>6965</S>, and has rebelled<S>4775</S> against his lord<S>113</S>.


text:
And there are gathered<S>6908</S> unto him vain<S>7386</S> men<S>582</S>, the sons<S>1121</S> of Belial<S>1100</S>, and have strengthened<S>553</S> themselves against Rehoboam<S>7346</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, when Rehoboam<S>7346</S> was young<S>5288</S> and tenderhearted<S>7390</S>, and could not withstand<S>2388</S> them<S>6440</S>.


text:
And now you think<S>559</S> to withstand<S>2388</S> the kingdom<S>6440</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> in the hand<S>3027</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S>; and you be a great<S>7227</S> multitude<S>1995</S>, and there are with you golden<S>2091</S> calves<S>5695</S>, which Jeroboam<S>3379</S> made<S>6213</S> you for gods<S>430</S>.


text:
Have you not cast out<S>5080</S> the priests<S>3548</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, the sons<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S>, and have made<S>6213</S> you priests<S>3548</S> after the manner of the nations<S>5971</S> of other lands<S>776</S>? so that whoever comes<S>935</S> to consecrate<S>4390</S> himself with a young<S>1121</S> bullock<S>6499</S> and seven<S>7651</S> rams<S>352</S>, the same may be a priest<S>3548</S> of them that are no<S>3808</S> gods<S>430</S>.


text:
But as for us<S>3068</S>, the Lord is our God<S>430</S>, and we have not forsaken<S>5800</S> him<S>3548</S>; and the priests, which minister<S>8334</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, are the sons<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S> wait upon their business<S>4399</S>:


text:
And they burn<S>6999</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> every morning<S>1242</S> and every evening<S>6153</S> burnt sacrifices<S>5930</S> and sweet<S>5561</S> incense<S>7004</S>: the showbread<S>3899</S> also set they in order upon the pure<S>2889</S> table<S>7979</S>; and the lampstand<S>4501</S> of gold<S>2091</S> with the lamps<S>5216</S> there<S>1197</S>, to burn every evening<S>6153</S>: for we keep<S>8104</S> the charge<S>4931</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>; but you have forsaken him<S>5800</S>.


text:
And<S>430</S>, behold, God himself is with us for our captain<S>7218</S>, and his priests<S>3548</S> with sounding<S>8643</S> trumpets<S>2689</S> to cry alarm<S>7321</S> against you<S>1121</S>. O sons of Israel<S>3478</S>, fight<S>3898</S> you not against the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of your fathers<S>1</S>; for you shall not prosper<S>6743</S>.


text:
But Jeroboam<S>3379</S> caused an ambushment<S>3993</S> to come<S>935</S> about<S>5437</S> behind<S>310</S> them<S>6440</S>: so they were before Judah<S>3063</S>, and the ambushment<S>3993</S> was behind them<S>310</S>.


text:
And when Judah<S>3063</S> looked back<S>6437</S>, behold<S>4421</S>, the battle was before<S>6440</S> and behind<S>268</S>: and they cried<S>6817</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S> sounded<S>2690</S> with the trumpets<S>2689</S>.


text:
Then the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> gave a shout<S>7321</S>: and as the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> shouted<S>7321</S>, it came to pass<S>430</S>, that God struck<S>5062</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S> and all Israel<S>3478</S> before<S>6440</S> Abijah<S>29</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> fled<S>5127</S> before<S>6440</S> Judah<S>3063</S>: and God<S>430</S> delivered<S>5414</S> them into their hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Abijah<S>29</S> and his people<S>5971</S> killed<S>5221</S> them with a great<S>7227</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>: so there fell down<S>5307</S> slain<S>2491</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> five<S>2568</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
Thus the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were brought<S>3665</S> under at that time<S>6256</S>, and the sons<S>1121</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> prevailed<S>553</S>, because they relied<S>8172</S> upon the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
And Abijah<S>29</S> pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, and took<S>3920</S> cities<S>5892</S> from him<S>1008</S>, Beth–el with the towns<S>1323</S> there<S>3466</S>, and Jeshanah with the towns<S>1323</S> there<S>6085</S>, and Ephrain with the towns there<S>1323</S>.


text:
Neither did Jeroboam<S>3379</S> recover<S>6113</S> strength<S>3581</S> again in the days<S>3117</S> of Abijah<S>29</S>: and the Lord<S>3068</S> struck<S>5062</S> him<S>4191</S>, and he died.


text:
But Abijah<S>29</S> grew mighty<S>2388</S>, and married<S>5375</S> fourteen<S>702</S> wives<S>802</S>, and fathered<S>3205</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S>, and sixteen<S>8337</S> daughters<S>1323</S>.


text:
And the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Abijah<S>29</S>, and his ways<S>1870</S>, and his sayings<S>1697</S>, are written<S>3789</S> in the story<S>4097</S> of the prophet<S>5030</S> Iddo<S>5714</S>.


text:
So Abijah<S>29</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and they buried<S>6912</S> him in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and Asa<S>609</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned<S>4427</S> in his stead<S>3117</S>. In his days the land<S>776</S> was quiet<S>8252</S> ten<S>6235</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And Asa<S>609</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was good<S>2896</S> and right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>:


text:
For he took away<S>5493</S> the altars<S>4196</S> of the strange<S>5236</S> gods<S>1116</S>, and the high places, and broke down<S>7665</S> the images<S>4676</S>, and cut down<S>1438</S> the groves<S>842</S>:


text:
And commanded<S>559</S> Judah<S>3063</S> to seek<S>1875</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>, and to do<S>6213</S> the law<S>8451</S> and the commandment<S>4687</S>.


text:
Also he took away<S>5493</S> out of all the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> the high places<S>1116</S> and the images<S>2553</S>: and the kingdom<S>4467</S> was quiet<S>8252</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And he built<S>1129</S> fenced<S>4694</S> cities<S>5892</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>: for the land<S>776</S> had rest<S>8252</S>, and he had no war<S>4421</S> in those years<S>8141</S>; because the Lord<S>3068</S> had given him rest<S>5117</S>.


text:
Therefore he said<S>559</S> unto Judah<S>3063</S>, Let us build<S>1129</S> these cities<S>5892</S>, and make about<S>5437</S> them walls<S>2346</S>, and towers<S>4026</S>, gates<S>1817</S>, and bars<S>1280</S>, while the land<S>776</S> is yet before<S>6440</S> us<S>1875</S>; because we have sought the Lord<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>, we have sought<S>1875</S> him<S>5117</S>, and he has given us rest on every side<S>5439</S>. So they built<S>1129</S> and prospered<S>6743</S>.


text:
And Asa<S>609</S> had an army<S>2428</S> of men that bore<S>5375</S> targets<S>6793</S> and spears<S>7420</S>, out of Judah<S>3063</S> three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S>; and out of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, that bore<S>5375</S> shields<S>4043</S> and drew<S>1869</S> bows<S>7198</S>, two hundred<S>3967</S> and eighty<S>8084</S> thousand<S>505</S>: all these were mighty men<S>1368</S> of valor<S>2428</S>.


text:
And there came out<S>3318</S> against them Zerah<S>2226</S> the Ethiopian<S>3569</S> with an army<S>2428</S> of a thousand<S>505</S> thousand<S>505</S>, and three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> chariots<S>4818</S>; and came<S>935</S> unto Mareshah<S>4762</S>.


text:
Then Asa<S>609</S> went out<S>3318</S> against<S>6440</S> him<S>4421</S>, and they set the battle in array<S>6186</S> in the valley<S>1516</S> of Zephathah<S>6859</S> at Mareshah<S>4762</S>.

And Asa<S>609</S> cried<S>7121</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Lord<S>3068</S>, it is nothing with you to help<S>5826</S>, whether<S>996</S> with many<S>7227</S>, or with them that have no power<S>3581</S>: help<S>5826</S> us<S>3068</S>, O Lord our God<S>430</S>; for we rest<S>8172</S> on you<S>8034</S>, and in your name we go<S>935</S> against this multitude<S>1995</S>. O Lord<S>3068</S>, you are our God<S>430</S>; let not man<S>582</S> prevail against you<S>6113</S>.


text:
So the Lord<S>3068</S> struck<S>5062</S> the Ethiopians<S>3569</S> before<S>6440</S> Asa<S>609</S>, and before<S>6440</S> Judah<S>3063</S>; and the Ethiopians<S>3569</S> fled<S>5127</S>.


text:
And Asa<S>609</S> and the people<S>5971</S> that were with him pursued<S>7291</S> them unto Gerar<S>1642</S>: and the Ethiopians<S>3569</S> were overthrown<S>5307</S>, that they could not recover<S>4241</S> themselves<S>7665</S>; for they were destroyed before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and before<S>6440</S> his army<S>4264</S>; and they carried away<S>5375</S> very<S>3966</S> much<S>7235</S> plunder<S>7998</S>.


text:
And they struck<S>5221</S> all the cities<S>5892</S> round about<S>5439</S> Gerar<S>1642</S>; for the fear<S>6343</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came upon them<S>962</S>: and they spoiled all the cities<S>5892</S>; for there was exceedingly much<S>7227</S> plunder in them<S>961</S>.


text:
They struck<S>5221</S> also the tents<S>168</S> of cattle<S>4735</S>, and carried away<S>7617</S> sheep<S>6629</S> and camels<S>1581</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>, and returned<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And the Spirit<S>7307</S> of God<S>430</S> came upon Azariah<S>5838</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Oded<S>5752</S>:


text:
And he went out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>6440</S> Asa<S>609</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>8085</S>, Hear you me<S>609</S>, Asa, and all Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>; The Lord<S>3068</S> is with you<S>1875</S>, while you be with him; and if you seek him<S>4672</S>, he will be found of you<S>5800</S>; but if you forsake him<S>5800</S>, he will forsake you.


text:
Now for a long<S>7227</S> season<S>3117</S> Israel<S>3478</S> has been without<S>3808</S> the true<S>571</S> God<S>430</S>, and without a teaching<S>3384</S> priest<S>3548</S>, and outside law<S>8451</S>.


text:
But when they in their trouble<S>6862</S> did turn<S>7725</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and sought<S>1245</S> him<S>4672</S>, he was found of them.


text:
And in those times<S>6256</S> there was no peace<S>7965</S> to him that went out<S>3318</S>, nor to him that came in<S>935</S>, but great<S>7227</S> troubles<S>4103</S> were upon all the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of the countries<S>776</S>.


text:
And nation<S>1471</S> was destroyed<S>3807</S> of nation<S>1471</S>, and city<S>5892</S> of city<S>5892</S>: for God<S>430</S> did trouble<S>2000</S> them with all adversity<S>6869</S>.


text:
Be you strong<S>2388</S> therefore<S>3027</S>, and let not your hands be weak<S>7503</S>: for your work<S>6468</S> shall be<S>3426</S> rewarded<S>7939</S>.


text:
And when Asa<S>609</S> heard<S>8085</S> these words<S>1697</S>, and the prophecy<S>5016</S> of Oded<S>5752</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>, he took courage<S>2388</S>, and put away<S>5674</S> the abominable idols<S>8251</S> out of all the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and out of the cities<S>5892</S> which he had taken<S>3920</S> from mountain<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>, and renewed<S>2318</S> the altar<S>4196</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, that was before<S>6440</S> the porch<S>197</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And he gathered<S>6908</S> all Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and the strangers<S>1481</S> with them out of Ephraim<S>669</S> and Manasseh<S>4519</S>, and out of Simeon<S>8095</S>: for they fell<S>5307</S> to him out of Israel<S>3478</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>, when they saw<S>7200</S> that the Lord<S>3068</S> his God was with him<S>430</S>.


text:
So they gathered themselves together<S>6908</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S> in the third<S>7992</S> month<S>2320</S>, in the fifteenth<S>2568</S> year<S>8141</S> of the reign<S>4438</S> of Asa<S>609</S>.


text:
And they offered<S>2076</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> the same time<S>3117</S>, of the plunder<S>7998</S> which they had brought<S>935</S>, seven<S>7651</S> hundred<S>3967</S> oxen<S>1241</S> and seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>.


text:
And they entered<S>935</S> into a covenant<S>1285</S> to seek<S>1875</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S> with all their heart<S>3824</S> and with all their soul<S>5315</S>;


text:
That whoever would not seek<S>1875</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> should be put to death<S>4191</S>, whether<S>4480</S> small<S>6996</S> or great<S>1419</S>, whether man<S>376</S> or woman<S>802</S>.


text:
And they swore<S>7650</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S>, and with shouting<S>8643</S>, and with trumpets<S>2689</S>, and with cornets<S>7782</S>.


text:
And all Judah<S>3063</S> rejoiced<S>8055</S> at the oath<S>7621</S>: for they had sworn<S>7650</S> with all their heart<S>3824</S>, and sought<S>1245</S> him with their whole desire<S>7522</S>; and he was found<S>4672</S> of them<S>3068</S>: and the Lord gave them rest<S>5117</S> round about<S>5439</S>.


text:
And also concerning Maachah<S>4601</S> the mother<S>517</S> of Asa<S>609</S> the king<S>4428</S>, he removed<S>5493</S> her from being queen<S>1377</S>, because she had made<S>6213</S> an idol<S>4656</S> in a grove<S>842</S>: and Asa<S>609</S> cut down<S>3772</S> her idol<S>4656</S>, and stamped<S>1854</S> it<S>8313</S>, and burnt it at the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>.


text:
But the high places<S>1116</S> were not taken away<S>5493</S> out of Israel<S>3478</S>: nevertheless the heart<S>3824</S> of Asa<S>609</S> was perfect<S>8003</S> all his days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And he brought<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S> the things that his father<S>1</S> had dedicated<S>6944</S>, and that he himself had dedicated<S>6944</S>, silver<S>3701</S>, and gold<S>2091</S>, and vessels<S>3627</S>.


text:
And there was no more war<S>4421</S> unto the five<S>2568</S> and thirtieth<S>7970</S> year<S>8141</S> of the reign<S>4438</S> of Asa<S>609</S>.


text:
In the six<S>8337</S> and thirtieth<S>7970</S> year<S>8141</S> of the reign<S>4438</S> of Asa<S>609</S> Baasha<S>1201</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came up<S>5927</S> against Judah<S>3063</S>, and built<S>1129</S> Ramah<S>7414</S>, to the intent that<S>1115</S> he might let<S>5414</S> none go out<S>3318</S> or come in<S>935</S> to Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Then Asa<S>609</S> brought out<S>3318</S> silver<S>3701</S> and gold<S>2091</S> out of the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> and of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> to Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, that lived<S>3427</S> at Damascus<S>1834</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
There is a covenant<S>1285</S> between me and you<S>1</S>, as there was between my father and your father<S>1</S>: behold<S>7971</S>, I have sent you silver<S>3701</S> and gold<S>2091</S>; go<S>3212</S>, break<S>6565</S> your covenant<S>1285</S> with Baasha<S>1201</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that he may depart from me<S>5927</S>.


text:
And Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad listened<S>8085</S> unto king<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> the captains<S>8269</S> of his armies<S>2428</S> against the cities<S>5892</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; and they struck<S>5221</S> Ijon<S>5859</S>, and Dan<S>1835</S>, and Abel<S>66</S>–maim, and all the store<S>4543</S> cities<S>5892</S> of Naphtali<S>5321</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>1201</S>, when Baasha heard<S>8085</S> it<S>2308</S>, that he left off building<S>1129</S> of Ramah<S>7414</S>, and let his work<S>4399</S> cease<S>7673</S>.


text:
Then Asa<S>609</S> the king<S>4428</S> took<S>3947</S> all Judah<S>3063</S>; and they carried away<S>5375</S> the stones<S>68</S> of Ramah<S>7414</S>, and the timber<S>6086</S> there<S>1201</S>, with which Baasha was building<S>1129</S>; and he built<S>1129</S> with it Geba<S>1387</S> and Mizpah<S>4709</S>.


text:
And at that time<S>6256</S> Hanani<S>2607</S> the seer<S>7200</S> came<S>935</S> to Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>8172</S>, Because you have relied on the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, and not relied<S>8172</S> on the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, therefore is the army<S>2428</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> escaped<S>4422</S> out of your hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
Were not the Ethiopians<S>3569</S> and the Lubims<S>3864</S> a huge<S>7230</S> army<S>2428</S>, with very<S>3966</S> many<S>7235</S> chariots<S>7393</S> and horsemen<S>6571</S>? yet<S>8172</S>, because you did rely on the Lord<S>3068</S>, he delivered<S>5414</S> them into your hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
For the eyes<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> run to and forth<S>7751</S> throughout the whole earth<S>776</S>, to show himself strong<S>2388</S> in the behalf of them whose heart<S>3824</S> is perfect<S>8003</S> toward him<S>5528</S>. Herein you have done foolishly: therefore from henceforth<S>6258</S> you shall have<S>3426</S> wars<S>4421</S>.


text:
Then Asa<S>609</S> was angry<S>3707</S> with the seer<S>7200</S>, and put<S>5414</S> him in a prison<S>4115</S> house<S>1004</S>; for he was in a rage<S>2197</S> with him because of this thing<S>609</S>. And Asa oppressed<S>7533</S> some of the people<S>5971</S> the same time<S>6256</S>.


text:
And<S>1697</S>, behold, the acts of Asa<S>609</S>, first<S>7223</S> and last<S>314</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Asa<S>609</S> in the thirty<S>7970</S> and ninth<S>8672</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4438</S> was diseased<S>2456</S> in his feet<S>7272</S>, until his disease<S>2483</S> was exceedingly<S>4605</S> great<S>2483</S>: yet in his disease he sought<S>1875</S> not to the Lord<S>3068</S>, but to the physicians<S>7495</S>.


text:
And Asa<S>609</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and died<S>4191</S> in the one<S>259</S> and fortieth<S>705</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4427</S>.


text:
And they buried<S>6912</S> him in his own tombs<S>6913</S>, which he had made<S>3738</S> for himself in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and laid<S>7901</S> him in the bed<S>4904</S> which was filled<S>4390</S> with sweet odors<S>1314</S> and various kinds<S>2177</S> of spices prepared<S>7543</S> by the apothecaries<S>4842</S>' are<S>4639</S>: and they made<S>8313</S> a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> burning for him<S>8316</S>.


text:
And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned<S>4427</S> in his stead<S>2388</S>, and strengthened himself against Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And he placed<S>5414</S> forces<S>2428</S> in all the fenced<S>1219</S> cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and set<S>5414</S> garrisons<S>5333</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and in the cities<S>5892</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, which Asa<S>609</S> his father<S>1</S> had taken<S>3920</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> was with Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, because he walked<S>1980</S> in the first<S>7223</S> ways<S>1870</S> of his father<S>1</S> David<S>1732</S>, and sought<S>1875</S> not unto Baalim<S>1168</S>;


text:
But sought<S>1875</S> to the Lord God<S>430</S> of his father<S>1</S>, and walked<S>1980</S> in his commandments<S>4687</S>, and not after the doings<S>4639</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Therefore the Lord<S>3068</S> stablished<S>3559</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>; and all Judah<S>3063</S> brought<S>5414</S> to Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> presents<S>4503</S>; and he had riches<S>6239</S> and honor<S>3519</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>.


text:
And his heart<S>3820</S> was lifted up<S>1361</S> in the ways<S>1870</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: moreover he took away<S>5493</S> the high places<S>1116</S> and groves<S>842</S> out of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Also in the third<S>7969</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4427</S> he sent<S>7971</S> to his princes<S>8269</S>, even to Ben<S>1134</S>–hail, and to Obadiah<S>5662</S>, and to Zechariah<S>2148</S>, and to Nethaneel<S>5417</S>, and to Michaiah<S>4322</S>, to teach<S>3925</S> in the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And with them he sent Levites<S>3881</S>, even Shemaiah<S>8098</S>, and Nethaniah<S>5418</S>, and Zebadiah<S>2069</S>, and Asahel<S>6214</S>, and Shemiramoth<S>8070</S>, and Jehonathan<S>3083</S>, and Adonijah<S>138</S>, and Tobijah<S>2900</S>, and Tob<S>2899</S>–adonijah, Levites<S>3881</S>; and with them Elishama<S>476</S> and Jehoram<S>3088</S>, priests<S>3548</S>.


text:
And they taught<S>3925</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>, and had the book<S>5612</S> of the law<S>8451</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> with them<S>5437</S>, and went about throughout all the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and taught<S>3925</S> the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And the fear<S>6343</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> fell upon all the kingdoms<S>4467</S> of the lands<S>776</S> that were round about<S>5439</S> Judah<S>3063</S>, so that they made no war<S>3898</S> against Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>.


text:
Also some of the Philistines<S>6430</S> brought<S>935</S> Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> presents<S>4503</S>, and tribute<S>4853</S> silver<S>3701</S>; and the Arabians<S>6163</S> brought<S>935</S> him flocks<S>6629</S>, seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> and seven<S>7651</S> hundred<S>3967</S> rams<S>352</S>, and seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> and seven<S>7651</S> hundred<S>3967</S> he goats<S>8495</S>.


text:
And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> grew<S>1980</S> great<S>1432</S> exceedingly<S>4605</S>; and he built<S>1129</S> in Judah<S>3063</S> castles<S>1003</S>, and cities<S>5892</S> of store<S>4543</S>.


text:
And he had much<S>7227</S> business<S>4399</S> in the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>: and the men<S>582</S> of war<S>4421</S>, mighty men<S>1368</S> of valor<S>2428</S>, were in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And these are the numbers<S>6486</S> of them according to the house<S>1004</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>: Of Judah<S>3063</S>, the captains<S>8269</S> of thousands<S>505</S>; Adnah<S>5734</S> the chief<S>8269</S>, and with him mighty men<S>1368</S> of valor<S>2428</S> three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S>.


text:
And next<S>3027</S> to him was Jehohanan<S>3076</S> the captain<S>8269</S>, and with him two hundred<S>3967</S> and eighty<S>8084</S> thousand<S>505</S>.


text:
And next<S>3027</S> him was Amasiah<S>6007</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zichri<S>2147</S>, who willingly offered<S>5068</S> himself unto the Lord<S>3068</S>; and with him two hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> mighty men<S>1368</S> of valor<S>2428</S>.


text:
And of Benjamin<S>1144</S>; Eliada<S>450</S> a mighty man<S>1368</S> of valor<S>2428</S>, and with him armed men<S>5401</S> with bow<S>7198</S> and shield<S>4043</S> two hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S>.

And next<S>3027</S> him was Jehozabad<S>3075</S>, and with him an hundred<S>3967</S> and eighty<S>8084</S> thousand<S>505</S> ready prepared<S>2502</S> for the war<S>6635</S>.


text:
These waited<S>8334</S> on the king<S>4428</S>, beside those whom the king<S>4428</S> put<S>5414</S> in the fenced<S>4013</S> cities<S>5892</S> throughout all Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Now Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> had riches<S>6239</S> and honor<S>3519</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>, and joined affinity<S>2859</S> with Ahab<S>256</S>.


text:
And after<S>7093</S> certain years<S>8141</S> he went down<S>3381</S> to Ahab<S>256</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>. And Ahab<S>256</S> killed<S>2076</S> sheep<S>6629</S> and oxen<S>1241</S> for him in abundance<S>7230</S>, and for the people<S>5971</S> that he had with him<S>5496</S>, and persuaded him to go up<S>5927</S> with him to Ramoth<S>7433</S>–gilead.


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, Will you go<S>3212</S> with me to Ramoth<S>7433</S>–gilead? And he answered<S>559</S> him<S>5971</S>, I am as you are, and my people as your people<S>5971</S>; and we will be with you in the war<S>4421</S>.


text:
Therefore the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> gathered together<S>6908</S> of prophets<S>5030</S> four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3212</S>, Shall we go to Ramoth<S>7433</S>–gilead to battle<S>4421</S>, or shall I forbear<S>2308</S>? And they said<S>559</S>, Go up<S>5927</S>; for God<S>430</S> will deliver<S>5414</S> it into the king<S>4428</S>'s hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
But Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S>, Is there not here a prophet<S>5030</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> besides<S>1875</S>, that we might inquire of him?


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, There is yet one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S>, by whom we may inquire<S>1875</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: but I hate<S>8130</S> him<S>5012</S>; for he never prophesied good<S>2896</S> unto me<S>3117</S>, but always evil<S>7451</S>: the same is Micaiah<S>4321</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Imla<S>3229</S>. And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S>, Let not the king<S>4428</S> say so<S>559</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> called<S>7121</S> for one<S>259</S> of his officers<S>5631</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Fetch quickly<S>4116</S> Micaiah<S>4319</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Imla<S>3229</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> sat<S>3427</S> either<S>376</S> of them on his throne<S>3678</S>, clothed<S>3847</S> in their robes<S>899</S>, and they sat<S>3427</S> in an open place<S>1637</S> at the entering in<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>; and all the prophets<S>5030</S> prophesied<S>5012</S> before them<S>6440</S>.


text:
And Zedekiah<S>6667</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Chenaanah<S>3668</S> had made<S>6213</S> him horns<S>7161</S> of iron<S>1270</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, With these you shall push<S>5055</S> Syria<S>758</S> until they be consumed<S>3615</S>.


text:
And all the prophets<S>5030</S> prophesied<S>5012</S> so<S>559</S>, saying, Go up<S>5927</S> to Ramoth<S>7433</S>–gilead, and prosper<S>6743</S>: for the Lord<S>3068</S> shall deliver<S>5414</S> it into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And the messenger<S>4397</S> that went<S>1980</S> to call<S>7121</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S> spoke<S>1696</S> to him<S>559</S>, saying, Behold<S>1697</S>, the words of the prophets<S>5030</S> declare good<S>2896</S> to the king<S>4428</S> with one<S>259</S> assent<S>6310</S>; let your word<S>1697</S> therefore<S>259</S>, I pray you, be like one of theirs<S>1696</S>, and speak you good<S>2896</S>.


text:
And Micaiah<S>4321</S> said<S>559</S>, As the Lord<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, even what my God<S>430</S> says<S>559</S>, that will I speak<S>1696</S>.


text:
And when he was come<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>4318</S>, Micaiah, shall we go<S>3212</S> to Ramoth<S>7433</S>–gilead to battle<S>4421</S>, or shall I forbear<S>2308</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, Go you up<S>5927</S>, and prosper<S>6743</S>, and they shall be delivered<S>5414</S> into your hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>6471</S>, How many times shall I adjure<S>7650</S> you that you say<S>1696</S> nothing but the truth<S>571</S> to me in the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>?


text:
Then he said<S>559</S>, I did see<S>7200</S> all Israel<S>3478</S> scattered<S>6327</S> upon the mountains<S>2022</S>, as sheep<S>6629</S> that have no shepherd<S>7462</S>: and the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, These have no master<S>113</S>; let them return<S>7725</S> therefore every man<S>376</S> to his house<S>1004</S> in peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, Did I not tell<S>559</S> you that he would not prophesy<S>5012</S> good<S>2896</S> unto me<S>7451</S>, but evil?


text:
Again he said<S>559</S>, Therefore hear<S>8085</S> the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>; I saw<S>7200</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> sitting<S>3427</S> upon his throne<S>3678</S>, and all the army<S>6635</S> of heaven<S>8064</S> standing<S>5975</S> on his right hand<S>3225</S> and on his left<S>8040</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, Who shall entice<S>6601</S> Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that he may go up<S>5927</S> and fall<S>5307</S> at Ramoth<S>7433</S>–gilead? And one spoke<S>559</S> saying<S>559</S> after this manner<S>3602</S>, and another saying<S>559</S> after that manner<S>3602</S>.


text:
Then there came out<S>3318</S> a spirit<S>7307</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I will entice<S>6601</S> him<S>3068</S>. And the Lord said unto him<S>559</S>, How?


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, I will go out<S>3318</S>, and be a lying<S>8267</S> spirit<S>7307</S> in the mouth<S>6310</S> of all his prophets<S>5030</S>. And the Lord said<S>559</S>, You shall entice<S>6601</S> him<S>3201</S>, and you shall also prevail: go out<S>3318</S>, and do even so<S>6213</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>3068</S>, behold, the Lord has put<S>5414</S> a lying<S>8267</S> spirit<S>7307</S> in the mouth<S>6310</S> of these your prophets<S>5030</S>, and the Lord<S>3068</S> has spoken<S>1696</S> evil against you<S>7451</S>.


text:
Then Zedekiah<S>6667</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Chenaanah<S>3668</S> came near<S>5066</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S> upon the cheek<S>3895</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Which<S>335</S> way<S>1870</S> went<S>5674</S> the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> from me to speak unto you<S>1696</S>?


text:
And Micaiah<S>4321</S> said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>7200</S>, you shall see on that day<S>3117</S> when you shall go<S>935</S> into an inner<S>2315</S> chamber<S>2315</S> to hide yourself<S>2244</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, Take<S>3947</S> you Micaiah<S>4321</S>, and carry him back<S>7725</S> to Amon<S>526</S> the governor<S>8269</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and to Joash<S>3101</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S>;


text:
And say<S>559</S>, Thus says<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S>, Put<S>7760</S> this fellow in the prison<S>1004</S>, and feed<S>398</S> him with bread<S>3899</S> of affliction<S>3906</S> and with water<S>4325</S> of affliction<S>3906</S>, until I return<S>7725</S> in peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
And Micaiah<S>4321</S> said<S>559</S>, If you certainly<S>7725</S> return<S>7725</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, then has not the Lord<S>3068</S> spoken<S>1696</S> by me<S>559</S>. And he said, Listen<S>8085</S>, all you people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, I will disguise<S>2664</S> myself<S>935</S>, and will go to the battle<S>4421</S>; but put<S>3847</S> you on your robes<S>899</S>. So the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> disguised<S>2664</S> himself<S>935</S>; and they went to the battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
Now the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> had commanded<S>6680</S> the captains<S>8269</S> of the chariots<S>7393</S> that were with him<S>559</S>, saying, Fight<S>3898</S> you not with small<S>6996</S> or great<S>1419</S>, save only with the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>8269</S>, when the captains of the chariots<S>7393</S> saw<S>7200</S> Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, that they said<S>559</S>, It is the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>. Therefore they surrounded about<S>5437</S> him to fight<S>3898</S>: but Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> cried out<S>2199</S>, and the Lord<S>3068</S> helped<S>5826</S> him<S>430</S>; and God moved them to depart from him<S>5496</S>.


text:
For it came to pass<S>8269</S>, that, when the captains of the chariots<S>7393</S> perceived<S>7200</S> that it was not the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, they turned back again<S>7725</S> from pursuing him<S>310</S>.


text:
And a certain man drew<S>4900</S> a bow<S>7198</S> at a venture<S>8537</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> between the joints<S>1694</S> of the harness<S>8302</S>: therefore he said<S>559</S> to his chariot<S>7395</S> man<S>376</S>, Turn<S>2015</S> your hand<S>3027</S>, that you may carry me out<S>3318</S> of the army<S>4264</S>; for I am wounded<S>2470</S>.


text:
And the battle<S>4421</S> increased<S>5927</S> that day<S>3117</S>: but the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> stayed himself up<S>5975</S> in his chariot<S>4818</S> against<S>5227</S> the Syrians<S>758</S> until the even<S>6153</S>: and about the time<S>6256</S> of the sun<S>8121</S> going down<S>935</S> he died<S>4191</S>.


text:
And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> returned<S>7725</S> to his house<S>1004</S> in peace<S>7965</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hanani<S>2607</S> the seer<S>2374</S> went out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>6440</S> him<S>559</S>, and said to king<S>4428</S> Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, Should you help<S>5826</S> the ungodly<S>7563</S>, and love<S>157</S> them that hate<S>8130</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>? therefore<S>2063</S> is wrath<S>7110</S> upon you from before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Nevertheless<S>61</S> there are good<S>2896</S> things<S>1697</S> found<S>4672</S> in you<S>1197</S>, in that you have taken away the groves<S>842</S> out of the land<S>776</S>, and have prepared<S>3559</S> your heart<S>3824</S> to seek<S>1875</S> God<S>430</S>.


text:
And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> lived<S>3427</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and he went out<S>3318</S> again<S>7725</S> through the people<S>5971</S> from Beer<S>884</S>–sheba to mountain<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>, and brought them back<S>7725</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
And he set<S>5975</S> judges<S>8199</S> in the land<S>776</S> throughout all the fenced<S>1219</S> cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, city<S>5892</S> by city<S>5892</S>,


text:
And said<S>559</S> to the judges<S>8199</S>, Take care<S>7200</S> what you do<S>6213</S>: for you judge<S>8199</S> not for man<S>120</S>, but for the Lord<S>3068</S>, who is with you in the judgment<S>1697</S>.


text:
Why now let the fear<S>6343</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> be upon you<S>8104</S>; take care and do<S>6213</S> it<S>5766</S>: for there is no iniquity with the Lord<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>, nor respect<S>4856</S> of persons<S>6440</S>, nor taking<S>4727</S> of gifts<S>7810</S>.


text:
Moreover in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> did Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> set<S>5975</S> of the Levites<S>3881</S>, and of the priests<S>3548</S>, and of the chief<S>7218</S> of the fathers<S>1</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, for the judgment<S>4941</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and for controversies<S>7379</S>, when they returned<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And he commanded<S>6680</S> them<S>559</S>, saying, Thus shall you do<S>6213</S> in the fear<S>3374</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, faithfully<S>530</S>, and with a perfect<S>8003</S> heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
And whatever crontroversy<S>7379</S> shall come<S>935</S> to you of your brothers<S>251</S> that live<S>3427</S> in their cities<S>5892</S>, between blood<S>1818</S> and blood<S>1818</S>, between law<S>8451</S> and commandment<S>4687</S>, statutes<S>2706</S> and judgments<S>4941</S>, you shall even warn<S>2094</S> them that they trespass<S>816</S> not against the Lord<S>3068</S>, and so wrath<S>7110</S> come upon you<S>251</S>, and upon your brothers: this<S>3541</S> do<S>6213</S>, and you shall not trespass<S>816</S>.


text:
And<S>568</S>, behold, Amariah the chief<S>7218</S> priest<S>3548</S> is over you in all matters<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>; and Zebadiah<S>2069</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ishmael<S>3458</S>, the ruler<S>5057</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, for all the king<S>4428</S>'s matters<S>1697</S>: also the Levites<S>3881</S> shall be officers<S>7860</S> before<S>6440</S> you<S>6213</S>. Deal courageously<S>2388</S>, and the Lord<S>3068</S> shall be with the good<S>2896</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> determined<S>559</S> to build<S>1129</S> an house<S>1004</S> for the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and an house<S>1004</S> for his kingdom<S>4438</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> told out<S>5608</S> sixty and ten<S>7657</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> to carry burdens<S>5449</S>, and eighty<S>8084</S> thousand<S>505</S> to hew<S>2672</S> in the mountain<S>2022</S>, and three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> and six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> to oversee them<S>5329</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Huram<S>2361</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Tyre<S>6865</S>, saying<S>559</S>, As you did deal<S>6213</S> with David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, and did send<S>7971</S> him cedars<S>730</S> to build<S>1129</S> him an house<S>1004</S> to live in it<S>3427</S>, even so deal with me.


text:
Behold<S>1129</S>, I build an house<S>1004</S> to the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S>, to dedicate<S>6942</S> it to him<S>6999</S>, and to burn before<S>6440</S> him sweet<S>5561</S> incense<S>7004</S>, and for the continual<S>8548</S> showbread<S>4635</S>, and for the burnt offerings<S>5930</S> morning<S>1242</S> and evening<S>6153</S>, on the sabbaths<S>7676</S>, and on the new moons<S>2320</S>, and on the solemn feasts<S>4150</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>. This is an ordinance for ever<S>5769</S> to Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the house<S>1004</S> which I build<S>1129</S> is great<S>1419</S>: for great<S>1419</S> is our God<S>430</S> above all gods<S>430</S>.


text:
But who is able<S>6113</S> to build<S>1129</S> him a house<S>1004</S>, seeing the heaven<S>8064</S> and heaven<S>8064</S> of heavens<S>8064</S> cannot contain<S>3557</S> him<S>1129</S>? who am I then, that I should build him an house<S>1004</S>, save only<S>518</S> to burn sacrifice<S>6999</S> before him<S>6440</S>?

Send<S>7971</S> me now therefore a man<S>376</S> skillful<S>2450</S> to work<S>6213</S> in gold<S>2091</S>, and in silver<S>3701</S>, and in brass<S>5178</S>, and in iron<S>1270</S>, and in purple<S>710</S>, and crimson<S>3758</S>, and blue<S>8504</S>, and that has skill<S>3045</S> to engrave<S>6605</S> with the skillful men<S>2450</S> that are with me in Judah<S>3063</S> and in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, whom David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> did provide<S>3559</S>.


text:
Send<S>7971</S> me also cedar<S>730</S> trees<S>6086</S>, fir trees<S>1265</S>, and algum trees<S>418</S>, out of Lebanon<S>3844</S>: for I know<S>3045</S> that your servants<S>5650</S> have skill<S>3045</S> to cut<S>3772</S> timber<S>6086</S> in Lebanon<S>3844</S>; and<S>5650</S>, behold, my servants shall be with your servants<S>5650</S>,


text:
Even to prepare<S>3559</S> me timber<S>6086</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>: for the house<S>1004</S> which I am about to build<S>1129</S> shall be wonderfully<S>6381</S> great<S>1419</S>.


text:
And<S>5414</S>, behold, I will give to your servants<S>5650</S>, the hewers<S>2404</S> that cut<S>3772</S> timber<S>6086</S>, twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> measures<S>3734</S> of beaten<S>4347</S> wheat<S>2406</S>, and twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> measures<S>3734</S> of barley<S>8184</S>, and twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> baths<S>1324</S> of wine<S>3196</S>, and twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> baths<S>1324</S> of oil<S>8081</S>.


text:
Then Huram<S>2361</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Tyre<S>6865</S> answered<S>559</S> in writing<S>3791</S>, which he sent<S>7971</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S>, Because the Lord<S>3068</S> has loved<S>160</S> his people<S>5971</S>, he has made<S>5414</S> you king over them<S>4428</S>.


text:
Huram<S>2361</S> said<S>559</S> moreover<S>1288</S>, Blessed be the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that made<S>6213</S> heaven<S>8064</S> and earth<S>776</S>, who has given<S>5414</S> to David<S>1732</S> the king<S>4428</S> a wise<S>2450</S> son<S>1121</S>, endowed<S>3045</S> with prudence<S>7922</S> and understanding<S>998</S>, that might build<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S> for the Lord<S>3068</S>, and a house<S>1004</S> for his kingdom<S>4438</S>.


text:
And now I have sent<S>7971</S> a skillful<S>2450</S> man<S>376</S>, endowed<S>3045</S> with understanding<S>998</S>, of Huram<S>2361</S> my father<S>1</S>'s,


text:
The son<S>1121</S> of a woman<S>802</S> of the daughters<S>1323</S> of Dan<S>1835</S>, and his father<S>1</S> was a man<S>376</S> of Tyre<S>6876</S>, skillful<S>3045</S> to work<S>6213</S> in gold<S>2091</S>, and in silver<S>3701</S>, in brass<S>5178</S>, in iron<S>1270</S>, in stone<S>68</S>, and in timber<S>6086</S>, in purple<S>713</S>, in blue<S>8504</S>, and in fine linen<S>948</S>, and in crimson<S>3758</S>; also to engrave<S>6605</S> any manner of graving<S>6603</S>, and to find out<S>2803</S> every device<S>4284</S> which shall be put<S>5414</S> to him<S>2450</S>, with your skillful men, and with the skillful men<S>2450</S> of my lord<S>113</S> David<S>1732</S> your father<S>1</S>.


text:
Now therefore the wheat<S>2406</S>, and the barley<S>8184</S>, the oil<S>8081</S>, and the wine<S>3196</S>, which my lord<S>113</S> has spoken<S>559</S> of<S>7971</S>, let him send unto his servants<S>5650</S>:


text:
And we will cut<S>3772</S> wood<S>6086</S> out of Lebanon<S>3844</S>, as much as you shall need<S>6878</S>: and we will bring<S>935</S> it to you in floats<S>7513</S> by sea<S>3220</S> to Joppa<S>3305</S>; and you shall carry it up<S>5927</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> numbered<S>5608</S> all the strangers<S>582</S> that were in the land<S>776</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, after<S>310</S> the numbering<S>5610</S> with which David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S> had numbered<S>5608</S> them<S>4672</S>; and they were found an hundred<S>3967</S> and fifty<S>2572</S> thousand<S>505</S> and three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> and six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S>.


text:
And he set<S>6213</S> sixty and ten<S>7657</S> thousand<S>505</S> of them to be bearers of burdens<S>5449</S>, and eighty<S>8084</S> thousand<S>505</S> to be hewers<S>2672</S> in the mountain<S>2022</S>, and three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> and six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> overseers<S>5329</S> to set<S>5647</S> the people<S>5971</S> a work<S>5647</S>.


text:
It came to pass after this<S>310</S> also<S>1121</S>, that the sons of Moab<S>4124</S>, and the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and with them other beside the Ammonites<S>5984</S>, came<S>935</S> against Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> to battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
Then there came<S>935</S> some that told<S>5046</S> Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, saying<S>559</S>, There comes<S>935</S> a great<S>7227</S> multitude<S>1995</S> against you from beyond<S>5676</S> the sea<S>3220</S> on this side Syria<S>758</S>; and<S>2688</S>, behold, they are in Hazazon–tamar, which is En<S>5872</S>–gedi.


text:
And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> feared<S>3372</S>, and set<S>5414</S> himself<S>6440</S> to seek<S>1875</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and proclaimed<S>7121</S> a fast<S>6685</S> throughout<S>5921</S> all Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And Judah<S>3063</S> gathered themselves together<S>6908</S>, to ask<S>1245</S> help of the Lord<S>3068</S>: even out of all the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> they came<S>935</S> to seek<S>1245</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> stood<S>5975</S> in the congregation<S>6951</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, before<S>6440</S> the new<S>2319</S> court<S>2691</S>,


text:
And said<S>559</S>, O Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of our fathers<S>1</S>, are not you God<S>430</S> in heaven<S>8064</S>? and rule<S>4910</S> not you over all the kingdoms<S>4467</S> of the heathen<S>1471</S>? and in your hand<S>3027</S> is there not power<S>3581</S> and might<S>1369</S>, so that none is able to withstand you<S>3320</S>?


text:
Are not you our God<S>430</S>, who did drive out<S>3423</S> the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of this land<S>776</S> before<S>6440</S> your people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> it to the seed<S>2233</S> of Abraham<S>85</S> your friend<S>157</S> for ever<S>5769</S>?


text:
And they lived<S>3427</S> in it<S>1129</S>, and have built you a sanctuary<S>4720</S> in it for your name<S>8034</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
If<S>7451</S>, when evil comes<S>935</S> upon us<S>2719</S>, as the sword, judgment<S>8196</S>, or pestilence<S>1698</S>, or famine<S>7458</S>, we stand<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> this house<S>1004</S>, and in your presence<S>6440</S>, (for your name<S>8034</S> is in this house<S>1004</S>,) and cry<S>2199</S> unto you in our affliction<S>6869</S>, then you will hear<S>8085</S> and help<S>3467</S>.


text:
And now<S>1121</S>, behold, the sons of Ammon<S>5983</S> and Moab<S>4124</S> and mountain<S>2022</S> Seir<S>8165</S>, whom you would not let<S>5414</S> Israel<S>3478</S> invade<S>935</S>, when they came out<S>935</S> of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, but they turned<S>5493</S> from them<S>8045</S>, and destroyed them not;


text:
Behold<S>1580</S>, I say, how they reward us<S>935</S>, to come to cast us out<S>1644</S> of your possession<S>3425</S>, which you have given us to inherit<S>3423</S>.


text:
O our God<S>430</S>, will you not judge<S>8199</S> them<S>3581</S>? for we have no might against<S>6440</S> this great<S>7227</S> company<S>1995</S> that comes<S>935</S> against us<S>3045</S>; neither know we<S>587</S> what to do<S>6213</S>: but our eyes are upon you<S>5869</S>.


text:
And all Judah<S>3063</S> stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, with<S>1571</S> their little ones<S>2945</S>, their wives<S>802</S>, and their sons<S>1121</S>.


text:
Then upon Jahaziel<S>3166</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zechariah<S>2148</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Benaiah<S>1141</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Jeiel<S>3273</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Mattaniah<S>4983</S>, a Levite<S>3881</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Asaph<S>623</S>, came the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> in the middle<S>8432</S> of the congregation<S>6951</S>;


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Listen<S>7181</S> you<S>3063</S>, all Judah, and you inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and you king<S>4428</S> Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> unto you<S>3372</S>, Be not afraid nor dismayed<S>2865</S> by reason<S>6440</S> of this great<S>7227</S> multitude<S>1995</S>; for the battle<S>4421</S> is not yours<S>430</S>, but God's.


text:
To morrow<S>4279</S> go you down<S>3381</S> against them<S>5927</S>: behold, they come up by the cliff<S>4608</S> of Ziz<S>6732</S>; and you shall find<S>4672</S> them at the end<S>5490</S> of the brook<S>5158</S>, before<S>6440</S> the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Jeruel<S>3385</S>.


text:
You shall not need to fight<S>3898</S> in this<S>2063</S> battle<S>3320</S>: set yourselves<S>5975</S>, stand you still<S>7200</S>, and see the salvation<S>3444</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> with you<S>3063</S>, O Judah and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: fear<S>3372</S> not<S>2865</S>, nor be dismayed; to morrow<S>4279</S> go out<S>3318</S> against<S>6440</S> them<S>3068</S>: for the Lord will be with you.


text:
And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> bowed<S>6915</S> his head with his face<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S>: and all Judah<S>3063</S> and the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> fell<S>5307</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, worshipping<S>7812</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the Levites<S>3881</S>, of the sons<S>1121</S> of the Kohathites<S>6956</S>, and of the sons<S>1121</S> of the Korhites<S>7145</S>, stood up<S>6965</S> to praise<S>1984</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S> on high<S>4605</S>.


text:
And they rose early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, and went forth<S>3318</S> into the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Tekoa<S>8620</S>: and as they went forth<S>3318</S>, Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> stood<S>5975</S> and said<S>559</S>, Hear<S>8085</S> me<S>3063</S>, O Judah, and you inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; Believe<S>539</S> in the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, so shall you be established<S>539</S>; believe<S>539</S> his prophets<S>5030</S>, so shall you prosper<S>6743</S>.


text:
And when he had consulted<S>3289</S> with the people<S>5971</S>, he appointed<S>5975</S> singers<S>7891</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, and that should praise<S>1984</S> the beauty<S>1927</S> of holiness<S>6944</S>, as they went out<S>3318</S> before<S>6440</S> the army<S>2502</S>, and to say<S>559</S>, Praise<S>3034</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>; for his mercy<S>2617</S> endures for ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
And when<S>6256</S> they began<S>2490</S> to sing<S>7440</S> and to praise<S>8416</S>, the Lord<S>3068</S> set<S>5414</S> ambushers<S>693</S> against the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, Moab<S>4124</S>, and mountain<S>2022</S> Seir<S>8165</S>, which were come<S>935</S> against Judah<S>3063</S>; and they were struck<S>5062</S>.


text:
For the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> and Moab<S>4124</S> stood up<S>5975</S> against the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of mountain<S>2022</S> Seir<S>8165</S>, utterly to kill<S>2763</S> and destroy<S>8045</S> them<S>3615</S>: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Seir<S>8165</S>, every one<S>376</S> helped<S>5826</S> to destroy<S>4889</S> another<S>7453</S>.


text:
And when Judah<S>3063</S> came<S>935</S> toward the watch tower<S>4707</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>, they looked<S>6437</S> unto the multitude<S>1995</S>, and<S>6297</S>, behold, they were dead bodies fallen<S>5307</S> to the earth<S>776</S>, and none escaped<S>6413</S>.


text:
And when Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> and his people<S>5971</S> came<S>935</S> to take away<S>962</S> the plunder<S>7998</S> of them<S>4672</S>, they found among them in abundance<S>7230</S> both riches<S>7399</S> with the dead bodies<S>6297</S>, and precious<S>2532</S> jewels<S>3627</S>, which they stripped off<S>5337</S> for themselves<S>369</S>, more than they could carry away<S>4853</S>: and they were three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S> in gathering<S>962</S> of the plunder<S>7998</S>, it was so much<S>7227</S>.


text:
And on the fourth<S>7243</S> day<S>3117</S> they assembled<S>6950</S> themselves in the valley<S>6010</S> of Berachah<S>1294</S>; for there they blessed<S>1288</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>: therefore the name<S>8034</S> of the same place<S>4725</S> was called<S>7121</S>, The valley<S>6010</S> of Berachah<S>1294</S>, unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Then they returned<S>7725</S>, every man<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> in the forefront<S>7218</S> of them<S>7725</S>, to go again to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> with joy<S>8057</S>; for the Lord<S>3068</S> had made them to rejoice<S>8055</S> over their enemies<S>341</S>.


text:
And they came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> with psalteries<S>5035</S> and harps<S>3658</S> and trumpets<S>2689</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the fear<S>6343</S> of God<S>430</S> was on all the kingdoms<S>4467</S> of those countries<S>776</S>, when they had heard<S>8085</S> that the Lord<S>3068</S> fought<S>3898</S> against the enemies<S>341</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
So the realm<S>4438</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> was quiet<S>8252</S>: for his God<S>430</S> gave him rest<S>5117</S> round about<S>5439</S>.


text:
And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> reigned<S>4427</S> over Judah<S>3063</S>: he was thirty<S>7970</S> and five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Azubah<S>5806</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Shilhi<S>7977</S>.


text:
And he walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of Asa<S>609</S> his father<S>1</S>, and departed<S>5493</S> not from it<S>6213</S>, doing that which was right<S>3477</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
But the high places<S>1116</S> were not taken away<S>5493</S>: for as yet the people<S>5971</S> had not prepared<S>3559</S> their hearts<S>3824</S> unto the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, first<S>7223</S> and last<S>314</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the book<S>1697</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hanani<S>2607</S>, who is mentioned<S>5927</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> this did Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> join<S>2266</S> himself with Ahaziah<S>274</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who did<S>6213</S> very wickedly<S>7561</S>:


text:
And he joined<S>2266</S> himself with him to make<S>6213</S> ships<S>591</S> to go<S>3212</S> to Tarshish<S>8659</S>: and they made<S>6213</S> the ships<S>591</S> in Ezion<S>6100</S>–geber.

Then Eliezer<S>461</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Dodavah<S>1735</S> of Mareshah<S>4762</S> prophesied<S>5012</S> against Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Because you have joined<S>2266</S> yourself with Ahaziah<S>274</S>, the Lord<S>3068</S> has broken<S>6555</S> your works<S>4639</S>. And the ships<S>591</S> were broken<S>7665</S>, that they were not able<S>6113</S> to go<S>3212</S> to Tarshish<S>8659</S>.


text:
Now Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>. And Jehoram<S>3088</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
And he had brothers<S>251</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, Azariah<S>5838</S>, and Jehiel<S>3171</S>, and Zechariah<S>2148</S>, and Azariah<S>5838</S>, and Michael<S>4317</S>, and Shephatiah<S>8203</S>: all these were the sons<S>1121</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And their father<S>1</S> gave<S>5414</S> them great<S>7227</S> gifts<S>4979</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, and of gold<S>2091</S>, and of precious things<S>4030</S>, with fenced<S>4694</S> cities<S>5892</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>: but the kingdom<S>4467</S> gave<S>5414</S> he to Jehoram<S>3088</S>; because he was the firstborn<S>1060</S>.


text:
Now when Jehoram<S>3088</S> was risen up<S>6965</S> to the kingdom<S>4467</S> of his father<S>1</S>, he strengthened<S>2388</S> himself<S>2026</S>, and killed all his brothers<S>251</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>, and various also of the princes<S>8269</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Jehoram<S>3088</S> was thirty<S>7970</S> and two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And he walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, like as did<S>6213</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>: for he had the daughter<S>1323</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> to wife<S>802</S>: and he worked<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
But the Lord<S>3068</S> would<S>14</S> not destroy<S>7843</S> the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>, because of the covenant<S>1285</S> that he had made<S>3772</S> with David<S>1732</S>, and as he promised<S>559</S> to give<S>5414</S> a window<S>5216</S> to him and to his sons<S>1121</S> for ever<S>3117</S>.


text:
In his days<S>3117</S> the Edomites<S>123</S> revolted<S>6586</S> from under the dominion<S>3027</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and made<S>4427</S> themselves a king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Then Jehoram<S>3088</S> went forth<S>5674</S> with his princes<S>8269</S>, and all his chariots<S>7393</S> with him<S>6965</S>: and he rose up by night<S>3915</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> the Edomites<S>123</S> which surrounded him in<S>5437</S>, and the captains<S>8269</S> of the chariots<S>7393</S>.


text:
So the Edomites<S>123</S> revolted<S>6586</S> from under the hand<S>3027</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>. The same time<S>6256</S> also did Libnah<S>3841</S> revolt<S>6586</S> from under his hand<S>3027</S>; because he had forsaken<S>5800</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of his fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Moreover he made<S>6213</S> high places<S>1116</S> in the mountains<S>2022</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and caused the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to commit fornication<S>2181</S>, and compelled<S>5080</S> Judah thereto<S>3063</S>.


text:
And there came<S>935</S> a writing<S>4385</S> to him from Elijah<S>452</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of David<S>1732</S> your father<S>1</S>, Because you have not walked<S>1980</S> in the ways<S>1870</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> your father<S>1</S>, nor in the ways<S>1870</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>,


text:
But have walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and have made Judah<S>3063</S> and the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to go a whoring<S>2181</S>, like to the whoredoms<S>2181</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>, and also have slain<S>2026</S> your brothers<S>251</S> of your father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, which were better than yourself<S>2896</S>:


text:
Behold<S>1419</S>, with a great plague<S>4046</S> will the Lord<S>3068</S> strike<S>5062</S> your people<S>5971</S>, and your sons<S>1121</S>, and your wives<S>802</S>, and all your goods<S>7399</S>:


text:
And you shall have great<S>7227</S> sickness<S>2483</S> by disease<S>4245</S> of your bowels<S>4578</S>, until your bowels<S>4578</S> fall out<S>3318</S> by reason of the sickness<S>2483</S> day<S>3117</S> by day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> stirred up<S>5782</S> against Jehoram<S>3088</S> the spirit<S>7307</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and of the Arabians<S>6163</S>, that were near<S>5921</S> the Ethiopians<S>3569</S>:


text:
And they came up<S>5927</S> into Judah<S>3063</S>, and broke<S>1234</S> into it<S>7617</S>, and carried away all the substance<S>7399</S> that was found<S>4672</S> in the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and his sons<S>1121</S> also<S>802</S>, and his wives; so that there was never a son<S>1121</S> left<S>7604</S> him<S>3059</S>, save Jehoahaz, the youngest<S>6996</S> of his sons<S>1121</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> all this the Lord<S>3068</S> struck<S>5062</S> him in his bowels<S>4578</S> with an incurable<S>369</S> disease<S>2483</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3117</S>, that in process of time, after<S>3318</S> the end<S>7093</S> of two<S>8147</S> years<S>3117</S>, his bowels<S>4578</S> fell out<S>3318</S> by reason<S>5973</S> of his sickness<S>2483</S>: so he died<S>4191</S> of severe<S>7451</S> diseases<S>8463</S>. And his people<S>5971</S> made<S>6213</S> no burning<S>8316</S> for him<S>8316</S>, like the burning of his fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Thirty<S>7970</S> and two<S>8147</S> years old<S>1121</S> was he when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S>, and died<S>3212</S> without being liked<S>2532</S>. But they buried<S>6912</S> him in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, but not in the tombs<S>6913</S> of the kings<S>4428</S>.


text:
And the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> made<S>4427</S> Ahaziah<S>274</S> his youngest<S>6996</S> son<S>1121</S> king<S>4427</S> in his place<S>1416</S>: for the band of men that came<S>935</S> with the Arabians<S>6163</S> to the camp<S>4264</S> had slain<S>2026</S> all the oldest<S>7223</S>. So Ahaziah<S>274</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoram<S>3088</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> reigned<S>4427</S>.


text:
Forty<S>705</S> and two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> was Ahaziah<S>274</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> one<S>259</S> year<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. His mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> also was Athaliah<S>6271</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Omri<S>6018</S>.


text:
He also walked<S>1980</S> in the ways<S>1870</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>: for his mother<S>517</S> was his counselor<S>3289</S> to do wickedly<S>7561</S>.


text:
Why he did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> like the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>: for they were his counselors<S>3289</S> after<S>310</S> the death<S>4194</S> of his father<S>1</S> to his destruction<S>4889</S>.


text:
He walked<S>1980</S> also after their counsel<S>6098</S>, and went<S>3212</S> with Jehoram<S>3088</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to war<S>4421</S> against Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> at Ramoth<S>7433</S>–gilead: and the Syrians<S>7421</S> struck<S>5221</S> Joram<S>3141</S>.


text:
And he returned<S>7725</S> to be healed<S>7495</S> in Jezreel<S>3157</S> because of the wounds<S>4347</S> which were given<S>5221</S> him at Ramah<S>7414</S>, when he fought<S>3898</S> with Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>. And Azariah<S>5838</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoram<S>3088</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> went down<S>3381</S> to see<S>7200</S> Jehoram<S>3088</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> at Jezreel<S>3157</S>, because he was sick<S>2470</S>.


text:
And the destruction<S>8395</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S> was of God<S>430</S> by coming<S>935</S> to Joram<S>3141</S>: for when he was come<S>935</S>, he went out<S>3318</S> with Jehoram<S>3088</S> against Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nimshi<S>5250</S>, whom the Lord<S>3068</S> had anointed<S>4886</S> to cut off<S>3772</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3058</S>, that, when Jehu was executing judgment<S>8199</S> upon the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>, and found<S>4672</S> the princes<S>8269</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and the sons<S>1121</S> of the brothers<S>251</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S>, that ministered<S>8334</S> to Ahaziah<S>274</S>, he killed them<S>2026</S>.


text:
And he sought<S>1245</S> Ahaziah<S>274</S>: and they caught<S>3920</S> him<S>2244</S>, (for he was hid in Samaria<S>8111</S>,) and brought<S>935</S> him to Jehu<S>3058</S>: and when they had slain<S>4191</S> him<S>6912</S>, they buried him<S>559</S>: Because, said they<S>1121</S>, he is the son of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, who sought<S>1875</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> with all his heart<S>3824</S>. So the house<S>1004</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S> had no power<S>3581</S> to keep<S>6113</S> still the kingdom<S>4467</S>.


text:
But when Athaliah<S>6271</S> the mother<S>517</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S> saw<S>7200</S> that her son<S>1121</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, she arose<S>6965</S> and destroyed<S>1696</S> all the seed<S>2233</S> royal<S>4467</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
But Jehoshabeath<S>3090</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of the king<S>4428</S>, took<S>3947</S> Joash<S>3101</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S>, and stole<S>1589</S> him from among<S>8432</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S> that were slain<S>4191</S>, and put<S>5414</S> him and his nurse<S>3243</S> in a bedroom<S>2315</S>. So Jehoshabeath<S>3090</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of king<S>4428</S> Jehoram<S>3088</S>, the wife<S>802</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, (for she was the sister<S>269</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S>,) hid<S>5641</S> him from<S>6440</S> Athaliah<S>6271</S>, so that she killed him not<S>4191</S>.


text:
And he was with them hid<S>2244</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S> six<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S>: and Athaliah<S>6271</S> reigned<S>4427</S> over the land<S>776</S>.


text:
And in the seventh<S>7637</S> year<S>8141</S> Jehoiada<S>3077</S> strengthened<S>2388</S> himself<S>3947</S>, and took the captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds<S>3967</S>, Azariah<S>5838</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jeroham<S>3395</S>, and Ishmael<S>3458</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehohanan<S>3076</S>, and Azariah<S>5838</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Obed<S>5744</S>, and Maaseiah<S>4641</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Adaiah<S>5718</S>, and Elishaphat<S>478</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zichri<S>2147</S>, into covenant with him<S>1285</S>.


text:
And they went about<S>5437</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>, and gathered<S>6908</S> the Levites<S>3881</S> out of all the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and the chief<S>7218</S> of the fathers<S>1</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and they came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And all the congregation<S>6951</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with the king<S>4428</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>. And he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>4428</S>, Behold, the king's son<S>1121</S> shall reign<S>4427</S>, as the Lord<S>3068</S> has said<S>1696</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
This is the thing<S>1697</S> that you shall do<S>6213</S>; A third part<S>7992</S> of you entering<S>935</S> on the sabbath<S>7676</S>, of the priests<S>3548</S> and of the Levites<S>3881</S>, shall be porters<S>7778</S> of the doors<S>5592</S>;


text:
And a third part<S>7992</S> shall be at the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>; and a third part<S>7992</S> at the gate<S>8179</S> of the foundation<S>3247</S>: and all the people<S>5971</S> shall be in the courts<S>2691</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
But let none come<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, save the priests<S>3548</S>, and they that minister<S>8334</S> of the Levites<S>3881</S>; they shall go in<S>935</S>, for they are holy<S>6944</S>: but all the people<S>5971</S> shall keep<S>8104</S> the watch<S>4931</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the Levites<S>3881</S> shall compass<S>5362</S> the king<S>4428</S> round about<S>5439</S>, every man<S>376</S> with his weapons<S>3627</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>; and whoever else comes<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S>, he shall be put to death<S>4191</S>: but be you with the king<S>4428</S> when he comes in<S>935</S>, and when he goes out<S>3318</S>.


text:
So the Levites<S>3881</S> and all Judah<S>3063</S> did<S>6213</S> according to all things that Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> had commanded<S>6680</S>, and took<S>3947</S> every man<S>376</S> his men<S>582</S> that were to come in<S>935</S> on the sabbath<S>7676</S>, with them that were to go<S>3318</S> out on the sabbath<S>7676</S>: for Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> dismissed<S>6358</S> not the courses<S>4256</S>.


text:
Moreover Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> delivered<S>5414</S> to the captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds<S>3967</S> spears<S>2595</S>, and bucklers<S>4043</S>, and shields<S>7982</S>, that had been king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>'s, which were in the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
And he set<S>5975</S> all the people<S>5971</S>, every man<S>376</S> having his weapon<S>7973</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>, from the right<S>3233</S> side<S>3802</S> of the temple<S>1004</S> to the left<S>8042</S> side<S>3802</S> of the temple<S>1004</S>, along by the altar<S>4196</S> and the temple<S>1004</S>, by the king<S>4428</S> round about<S>5439</S>.


text:
Then they brought out<S>3318</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S>, and put<S>5414</S> upon him the crown<S>5145</S>, and gave him the testimony<S>5715</S>, and made him king<S>4427</S>. And Jehoiada<S>3077</S> and his sons<S>1121</S> anointed<S>4886</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, God save<S>2421</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Now when Athaliah<S>6271</S> heard<S>8085</S> the noise<S>6963</S> of the people<S>5971</S> running<S>7323</S> and praising<S>1984</S> the king<S>4428</S>, she came<S>935</S> to the people<S>5971</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>:

And she looked<S>7200</S>, and<S>4428</S>, behold, the king stood<S>5975</S> at his pillar<S>5982</S> at the entering in<S>3996</S>, and the princes<S>8269</S> and the trumpets<S>2689</S> by the king<S>4428</S>: and all the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> rejoiced<S>8056</S>, and sounded<S>8628</S> with trumpets<S>2689</S>, also the singers<S>7891</S> with instruments<S>3627</S> of music<S>7892</S>, and such as taught<S>3045</S> to sing praise<S>1984</S>. Then Athaliah<S>6271</S> tore<S>7167</S> her clothes<S>899</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Treason<S>7195</S>, Treason<S>7195</S>.


text:
Then Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> brought out<S>3318</S> the captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds<S>3967</S> that were set over<S>6485</S> the army<S>2428</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3318</S>, Bring her forth from the ranks<S>1004</S>: and whoever follows<S>935</S> her<S>4191</S>, let him be slain with the sword<S>2719</S>. For the priest<S>3548</S> said<S>559</S>, Kill<S>4191</S> her not in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
So they laid<S>7760</S> hands<S>3027</S> on her<S>935</S>; and when she was come to the entering<S>3996</S> of the horse<S>5483</S> gate<S>8179</S> by the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, they killed her there<S>4191</S>.


text:
And Jehoiada<S>3077</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> between him<S>5971</S>, and between all the people, and between the king<S>4428</S>, that they should be the Lord<S>3068</S>'s people<S>5971</S>.


text:
Then all the people<S>5971</S> went<S>935</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, and broke it down<S>5422</S>, and broke<S>7665</S> his altars<S>4196</S> and his images<S>6754</S> in pieces<S>7665</S>, and killed<S>2026</S> Mattan<S>4977</S> the priest<S>3548</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> before<S>6440</S> the altars<S>4196</S>.


text:
Also Jehoiada<S>3077</S> appointed<S>7760</S> the offices<S>6486</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> the Levites<S>3881</S>, whom David<S>1732</S> had distributed<S>2505</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, to offer<S>5927</S> the burnt offerings<S>5930</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, as it is written<S>3789</S> in the law<S>8451</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>, with rejoicing<S>8057</S> and with singing<S>7892</S>, as it was ordained by<S>3027</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And he set<S>5975</S> the porters<S>7778</S> at the gates<S>8179</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, that none which was unclean<S>2931</S> in any thing<S>1697</S> should enter in<S>935</S>.


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> the captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds<S>3967</S>, and the nobles<S>117</S>, and the governors<S>4910</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>, and brought down<S>3381</S> the king<S>4428</S> from the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: and they came<S>935</S> through<S>8432</S> the high<S>5945</S> gate<S>8179</S> into the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and set<S>3427</S> the king<S>4428</S> upon the throne<S>3678</S> of the kingdom<S>4467</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> rejoiced<S>8055</S>: and the city<S>5892</S> was quiet<S>8252</S>, after that they had slain<S>4191</S> Athaliah<S>6271</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
Joash<S>3101</S> was seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. His mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> also was Zibiah<S>6645</S> of Beer<S>884</S>–sheba.


text:
And Joash<S>3101</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S>.


text:
And Jehoiada<S>3077</S> took<S>5375</S> for him two<S>8147</S> wives<S>802</S>; and he fathered<S>3205</S> sons<S>1121</S> and daughters<S>1323</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after<S>310</S> this<S>3101</S>, that Joash was minded<S>3820</S> to repair<S>2318</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And he gathered together<S>6908</S> the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them<S>3318</S>, Go out unto the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and gather<S>6908</S> of all Israel<S>3478</S> money<S>3701</S> to repair<S>2388</S> the house<S>1004</S> of your God<S>430</S> from<S>1767</S> year<S>8141</S> to year<S>8141</S>, and see that you hasten<S>4116</S> the matter<S>1697</S>. But the Levites<S>3881</S> hurried it not<S>4116</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> called<S>7121</S> for Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the chief<S>7218</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1875</S>, Why have you not required of the Levites<S>3881</S> to bring in<S>935</S> out of Judah<S>3063</S> and out of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> the collection<S>4864</S>, according to the commandment of Moses<S>4872</S> the servant<S>5650</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and of the congregation<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, for the tabernacle<S>168</S> of witness<S>5715</S>?


text:
For the sons<S>1121</S> of Athaliah<S>6271</S>, that wicked<S>4849</S> woman<S>6555</S>, had broken up the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>; and also all the dedicated things<S>6944</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> did they bestow<S>6213</S> upon Baalim<S>1168</S>.


text:
And at the king<S>4428</S>'s commandment<S>559</S> they made<S>6213</S> a<S>259</S> chest<S>727</S>, and set<S>5414</S> it outside<S>2351</S> at the gate<S>8179</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And they made<S>5414</S> a proclamation<S>6963</S> through Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, to bring in<S>935</S> to the Lord<S>3068</S> the collection<S>4864</S> that Moses<S>4872</S> the servant<S>5650</S> of God<S>430</S> laid upon Israel<S>3478</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
And all the princes<S>8269</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> rejoiced<S>8055</S>, and brought in<S>935</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> into the chest<S>727</S>, until they had made an end<S>3615</S>.


text:
Now it came to pass<S>6256</S>, that at what time the chest<S>727</S> was brought<S>935</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>'s office<S>6486</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of the Levites<S>3881</S>, and when they saw<S>7200</S> that there was much<S>7227</S> money<S>3701</S>, the king<S>4428</S>'s scribe<S>5608</S> and the high<S>7218</S> priest<S>3548</S>'s officer<S>6496</S> came<S>935</S> and emptied<S>6168</S> the chest<S>727</S>, and took<S>5375</S> it<S>7725</S>, and carried it to his place<S>4725</S> again<S>7725</S>. Thus they did<S>6213</S> day<S>3117</S> by day<S>3117</S>, and gathered<S>622</S> money<S>3701</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> and Jehoiada<S>3077</S> gave<S>5414</S> it to such as did<S>6213</S> the work<S>4399</S> of the service<S>5656</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and hired<S>7936</S> masons<S>2672</S> and carpenters<S>2796</S> to repair<S>2318</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and also such as worked<S>2796</S> iron<S>1270</S> and brass<S>5178</S> to mend<S>2388</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
So the workmen<S>4399</S> worked<S>6213</S>, and the work<S>4399</S> was<S>5927</S> perfected<S>724</S> by them<S>3027</S>, and they set<S>5975</S> the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S> in his state<S>4971</S>, and strengthened it<S>553</S>.


text:
And when they had finished<S>3615</S> it<S>935</S>, they brought the rest<S>7605</S> of the money<S>3701</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> and Jehoiada<S>3077</S>, whereof were made<S>6213</S> vessels<S>3627</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, even vessels<S>3627</S> to minister<S>8335</S>, and to offer<S>5927</S> with<S>3709</S>, and spoons, and vessels<S>3627</S> of gold<S>2091</S> and silver<S>3701</S>. And they offered<S>5927</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> continually<S>8548</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>.


text:
But Jehoiada<S>3077</S> grew old<S>2204</S>, and was full<S>7646</S> of days<S>3117</S> when he died<S>4191</S>; an hundred<S>3967</S> and thirty<S>7970</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> was he when he died<S>4194</S>.


text:
And they buried<S>6912</S> him in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> among the kings<S>4428</S>, because he had done<S>6213</S> good<S>2896</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, both toward God<S>430</S>, and toward his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Now after<S>310</S> the death<S>4194</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> came<S>935</S> the princes<S>8269</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and made bow<S>7812</S> to the king<S>4428</S>. Then the king<S>4428</S> listened unto them<S>8085</S>.


text:
And they left<S>5800</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>, and served<S>5647</S> groves<S>842</S> and idols<S>6091</S>: and wrath<S>7110</S> came upon Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S> for this their trespass<S>819</S>.


text:
Yet he sent<S>7971</S> prophets<S>5030</S> to them<S>7725</S>, to bring them again unto the Lord<S>3068</S>; and they testified<S>5749</S> against them<S>238</S>: but they would not give ear.


text:
And the Spirit<S>7307</S> of God<S>430</S> came<S>3847</S> upon Zechariah<S>2148</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, which stood<S>5975</S> above the people<S>5971</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>559</S>, Thus says God<S>430</S>, Why transgress<S>5674</S> you the commandments<S>4687</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, that you cannot prosper<S>6743</S>? because you have forsaken<S>5800</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, he has also forsaken you<S>5800</S>.


text:
And they conspired<S>7194</S> against him<S>7275</S>, and stoned him with stones<S>68</S> at the commandment<S>4687</S> of the king<S>4428</S> in the court<S>2691</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Thus Joash<S>3101</S> the king<S>4428</S> remembered<S>2142</S> not the kindness<S>2617</S> which Jehoiada<S>3077</S> his father<S>1</S> had done<S>6213</S> to him<S>2026</S>, but killed his son<S>1121</S>. And when he died<S>4194</S>, he said<S>559</S>, The Lord<S>3068</S> look<S>7200</S> upon it<S>1875</S>, and require it.


text:
And it came to pass at the end<S>8622</S> of the year<S>8141</S>, that the army<S>2428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> came up<S>5927</S> against him<S>935</S>: and they came to Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and destroyed<S>7843</S> all the princes<S>8269</S> of the people<S>5971</S> from among the people<S>5971</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> all the plunder<S>7998</S> of them unto the king<S>4428</S> of Damascus<S>1834</S>.


text:
For the army<S>2428</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S> came<S>935</S> with a small<S>4705</S> company of men<S>582</S>, and the Lord<S>3068</S> delivered<S>5414</S> a very<S>3966</S> great<S>7230</S> army<S>2428</S> into their hand<S>3027</S>, because they had forsaken<S>5800</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>. So they executed<S>6213</S> judgment<S>8201</S> against Joash<S>3101</S>.


text:
And when they were departed<S>3212</S> from him<S>5800</S>, (for they left him very<S>7227</S> sick<S>4251</S>,) his own servants<S>5650</S> conspired<S>7194</S> against him for the blood<S>1818</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, and killed<S>2026</S> him on his bed<S>4296</S>, and he died<S>4191</S>: and they buried<S>6912</S> him in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, but they buried<S>6912</S> him not in the tombs<S>6913</S> of the kings<S>4428</S>.


text:
And these are they that conspired<S>7194</S> against him<S>2066</S>; Zabad the son<S>1121</S> of Shimeath<S>8100</S> an Ammonitess<S>5985</S>, and Jehozabad<S>3075</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shimrith<S>8116</S> a Moabitess<S>4125</S>.


text:
Now concerning his sons<S>1121</S>, and the greatness<S>7235</S> of the burdens<S>4853</S> laid upon him<S>3247</S>, and the repairing of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the story<S>4097</S> of the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S>. And Amaziah<S>558</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Amaziah<S>558</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> and five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and nine<S>8672</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Jehoaddan<S>3086</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, but not with a perfect<S>8003</S> heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
Now it came to pass<S>4467</S>, when the kingdom was established<S>2388</S> to him<S>2026</S>, that he killed his servants<S>5650</S> that had killed<S>5221</S> the king<S>4428</S> his father<S>1</S>.


text:
But he killed<S>4191</S> not their sons<S>1121</S>, but did as it is written<S>3789</S> in the law<S>8451</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>, where the Lord<S>3068</S> commanded<S>6680</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The fathers<S>1</S> shall not die<S>4191</S> for the sons<S>1121</S>, neither shall the sons<S>1121</S> die<S>4191</S> for the fathers<S>1</S>, but every man<S>376</S> shall die<S>4191</S> for his own sin<S>2399</S>.


text:
Moreover Amaziah<S>558</S> gathered<S>6908</S> Judah<S>3063</S> together<S>6908</S>, and made<S>5975</S> them captains<S>8269</S> over thousands<S>505</S>, and captains<S>8269</S> over hundreds<S>3967</S>, according to the houses<S>1004</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>, throughout all Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>: and he numbered<S>6485</S> them from twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> and above<S>4605</S>, and found<S>4672</S> them three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> choice<S>977</S> men<S>3318</S>, able to go forth to war<S>6635</S>, that could handle<S>270</S> spear<S>7420</S> and shield<S>6793</S>.


text:
He hired<S>7936</S> also an hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> mighty<S>1368</S> men of valor<S>2428</S> out of Israel<S>3478</S> for an hundred<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S>.


text:
But there came<S>935</S> a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> to him<S>559</S>, saying, O king<S>4428</S>, let not the army<S>6635</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> go<S>935</S> with you<S>3068</S>; for the Lord is not with Israel<S>3478</S>, with all the sons<S>1121</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>.


text:
But if you will go<S>935</S>, do<S>6213</S> it<S>2388</S>, be strong for the battle<S>4421</S>: God<S>430</S> shall make you fall<S>3782</S> before<S>6440</S> the enemy<S>341</S>: for God<S>430</S> has<S>3426</S> power<S>3581</S> to help<S>5826</S>, and to cast down<S>3782</S>.


text:
And Amaziah<S>558</S> said<S>559</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, But what shall we do<S>6213</S> for the hundred<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S> which I have given<S>5414</S> to the army<S>1416</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? And the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> answered<S>559</S>, The Lord<S>3068</S> is<S>3426</S> able to give<S>5414</S> you much more than this<S>7235</S>.

Then Amaziah<S>558</S> separated<S>914</S> the army<S>1416</S> that was come<S>935</S> to him out of Ephraim<S>669</S>, to go<S>3212</S> home<S>4725</S> again<S>3212</S>: therefore their anger<S>639</S> was greatly<S>3966</S> kindled<S>2734</S> against Judah<S>3063</S>, and they returned<S>7725</S> home<S>4725</S> in great<S>2750</S> anger<S>639</S>.


text:
And Amaziah<S>558</S> strengthened<S>2388</S> himself<S>5090</S>, and led forth his people<S>5971</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to the valley<S>1516</S> of salt<S>4417</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Seir<S>8165</S> ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S>.


text:
And other ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> left alive<S>2416</S> did the sons<S>1121</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> carry away captive<S>7617</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them unto the top<S>7218</S> of the rock<S>5553</S>, and cast them down<S>7993</S> from the top<S>7218</S> of the rock<S>5553</S>, that they all were broken in pieces<S>1234</S>.


text:
But the soldiers<S>1121</S> of the army<S>1416</S> which Amaziah<S>558</S> sent back<S>7725</S>, that they should not go<S>3212</S> with him to battle<S>4421</S>, fell<S>6584</S> upon the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, from Samaria<S>8111</S> even unto Beth<S>1032</S>–horon, and struck<S>5221</S> three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> of them<S>962</S>, and took much<S>7227</S> plunder<S>961</S>.


text:
Now it came to pass<S>310</S>, after that Amaziah<S>558</S> was come<S>935</S> from the slaughter<S>5221</S> of the Edomites<S>130</S>, that he brought<S>935</S> the gods<S>430</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Seir<S>8165</S>, and set them up<S>5975</S> to be his gods<S>430</S>, and bowed down<S>7812</S> himself before<S>6440</S> them<S>6999</S>, and burned incense unto them.


text:
Then the anger<S>639</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against Amaziah<S>558</S>, and he sent<S>7971</S> unto him a prophet<S>5030</S>, which said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1875</S>, Why have you sought after the gods<S>430</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, which could not deliver<S>5337</S> their own people<S>5971</S> out of your hand<S>3027</S>?


text:
And it came to pass<S>1696</S>, as he talked with him<S>559</S>, that the king said unto him<S>5414</S>, Have you been made one of the king<S>4428</S>'s counselors<S>3289</S>? stop<S>2308</S>; why should you be struck<S>5221</S>? Then the prophet<S>5030</S> stopped<S>2308</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I know<S>3045</S> that God<S>430</S> has determined<S>3289</S> to destroy<S>7843</S> you<S>6213</S>, because you have done this<S>8085</S>, and have not listened unto my counsel<S>6098</S>.


text:
Then Amaziah<S>558</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> took advice<S>3289</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> to Joash<S>3101</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoahaz<S>3059</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Come<S>3212</S>, let us see one another<S>7200</S> in the face<S>6440</S>.


text:
And Joash<S>3101</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Amaziah<S>558</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The thistle<S>2336</S> that was in Lebanon<S>3844</S> sent<S>7971</S> to the cedar<S>730</S> that was in Lebanon<S>3844</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Give<S>5414</S> your daughter<S>1323</S> to my son<S>1121</S> to wife<S>802</S>: and there passed by<S>5674</S> a wild<S>7704</S> animal<S>2416</S> that was in Lebanon<S>3844</S>, and trod down<S>7429</S> the thistle<S>2336</S>.


text:
You say<S>559</S>, Behold<S>5221</S>, you have struck the Edomites<S>123</S>; and your heart<S>3820</S> lifts you up<S>5375</S> to boast<S>3513</S>: stay<S>3427</S> now at home<S>1004</S>; why should you meddle<S>1624</S> to your hurt<S>7451</S>, that you should fall<S>5307</S>, even you<S>3063</S>, and Judah with you?


text:
But Amaziah<S>558</S> would not hear<S>8085</S>; for it came of God<S>430</S>, that he might deliver<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of their enemies<S>1875</S>, because they sought after the gods<S>430</S> of Edom<S>123</S>.


text:
So Joash<S>3101</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went up<S>5927</S>; and they saw one another<S>7200</S> in the face<S>6440</S>, both he and Amaziah<S>558</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, at Beth<S>1053</S>–shemesh, which belongs to Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And Judah<S>3063</S> was put to the worse<S>5062</S> before<S>6440</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, and they fled<S>5127</S> every man<S>376</S> to his tent<S>168</S>.


text:
And Joash<S>3101</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> took<S>8610</S> Amaziah<S>558</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Joash<S>3101</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoahaz<S>3059</S>, at Beth<S>1053</S>–shemesh, and brought<S>935</S> him to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and broke down<S>6555</S> the wall<S>2346</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> from the gate<S>8179</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S> to the corner<S>6437</S> gate<S>8179</S>, four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> cubits<S>520</S>.


text:
And he took all the gold<S>2091</S> and the silver<S>3701</S>, and all the vessels<S>3627</S> that were found<S>4672</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S> with Obed<S>5654</S>–edom, and the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, the hostages<S>1121</S> also<S>7725</S>, and returned to Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
And Amaziah<S>558</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> lived<S>2421</S> after<S>310</S> the death<S>4194</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> son<S>1121</S> of Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> fifteen<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Amaziah<S>558</S>, first<S>7223</S> and last<S>314</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, are they not written in the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
Now after the time<S>6256</S> that Amaziah<S>558</S> did turn away<S>5493</S> from following<S>310</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> they made<S>7194</S> a conspiracy<S>7195</S> against him in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; and he fled<S>5127</S> to Lachish<S>3923</S>: but they sent<S>7971</S> to Lachish<S>3923</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>4191</S>, and killed him there.


text:
And they brought<S>5375</S> him upon horses<S>5483</S>, and buried<S>6912</S> him with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Then all the people<S>5971</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> took<S>3947</S> Uzziah<S>5818</S>, who was sixteen<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S>, and made him king<S>4427</S> in the room of his father<S>1</S> Amaziah<S>558</S>.


text:
He built<S>1129</S> Eloth<S>359</S>, and restored<S>7725</S> it to Judah<S>3063</S>, after<S>310</S> that the king<S>4428</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Sixteen<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> was Uzziah<S>5818</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> fifty<S>2572</S> and two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. His mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> also was Jecoliah<S>3203</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, according to all that his father<S>1</S> Amaziah<S>558</S> did<S>6213</S>.


text:
And he sought<S>1875</S> God<S>430</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of Zechariah<S>2148</S>, who had understanding<S>995</S> in the visions<S>7200</S> of God<S>430</S>: and as long as<S>3117</S> he sought<S>1875</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, God<S>430</S> made him to prosper<S>6743</S>.


text:
And he went forth<S>3318</S> and warred<S>3898</S> against the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and broke down<S>6555</S> the wall<S>2346</S> of Gath<S>1661</S>, and the wall<S>2346</S> of Jabneh<S>2996</S>, and the wall<S>2346</S> of Ashdod<S>795</S>, and built<S>1129</S> cities<S>5892</S> about Ashdod<S>795</S>, and among the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And God<S>430</S> helped<S>5826</S> him against the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and against the Arabians<S>6163</S> that lived<S>3427</S> in Gur<S>1485</S>–baal, and the Mehunims<S>4586</S>.


text:
And the Ammonites<S>5984</S> gave<S>5414</S> gifts<S>4503</S> to Uzziah<S>5818</S>: and his name<S>8034</S> spread abroad<S>3212</S> even to the entering<S>935</S> in of Egypt<S>4714</S>; for he strengthened<S>2388</S> himself exceedingly<S>4605</S>.


text:
Moreover Uzziah<S>5818</S> built<S>1129</S> towers<S>4026</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> at the corner<S>6438</S> gate<S>8179</S>, and at the valley<S>1516</S> gate<S>8179</S>, and at the turning<S>4740</S> of the wall<S>2388</S>, and fortified them.


text:
Also he built<S>1129</S> towers<S>4026</S> in the desert<S>4057</S>, and dug<S>2672</S> many<S>7227</S> wells<S>953</S>: for he had much<S>7227</S> cattle<S>4735</S>, both in the low country<S>8219</S>, and in the plains<S>4334</S>: husbandmen<S>406</S> also<S>3755</S>, and vine dressers in the mountains<S>2022</S>, and in Carmel<S>3760</S>: for he loved<S>157</S> husbandry<S>127</S>.


text:
Moreover Uzziah<S>5818</S> had an army<S>2428</S> of fighting<S>4421</S> men<S>6213</S>, that went out<S>3318</S> to war<S>6635</S> by bands<S>1416</S>, according to the number<S>4557</S> of their account<S>6486</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of Jeiel<S>3273</S> the scribe<S>5608</S> and Maaseiah<S>4641</S> the ruler<S>7860</S>, under the hand<S>3027</S> of Hananiah<S>2608</S>, one of the king<S>4428</S>'s captains<S>8269</S>.


text:
The whole number<S>4557</S> of the chief<S>7218</S> of the fathers<S>1</S> of the mighty men<S>1368</S> of valor<S>2428</S> were two thousand<S>505</S> and six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S>.


text:
And under their hand<S>3027</S> was an army<S>2428</S>, three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> and seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> and five<S>2568</S> hundred<S>3967</S>, that made<S>6213</S> war<S>4421</S> with mighty<S>2428</S> power<S>3581</S>, to help<S>5826</S> the king<S>4428</S> against the enemy<S>341</S>.


text:
And Uzziah<S>5818</S> prepared<S>3559</S> for them throughout all the army<S>6635</S> shields<S>4043</S>, and spears<S>7420</S>, and helmets<S>3553</S>, and habergeons<S>8302</S>, and bows<S>7198</S>, and slings<S>7050</S> to cast stones<S>68</S>.


text:
And he made<S>6213</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> engines<S>2810</S>, invented<S>4284</S> by skillful men<S>2803</S>, to be on the towers<S>4026</S> and upon the bulwarks<S>6438</S>, to shoot<S>3384</S> arrows<S>2671</S> and great<S>1419</S> stones<S>68</S> with<S>8034</S>. And his name spread<S>3318</S> far abroad<S>7350</S>; for he was marvelously<S>6381</S> helped<S>5826</S>, until<S>3588</S> he was strong<S>2388</S>.


text:
But when he was strong<S>2393</S>, his heart<S>3820</S> was lifted up<S>1361</S> to his destruction<S>7843</S>: for he transgressed<S>4603</S> against the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>, and went<S>935</S> into the temple<S>1964</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> to burn incense<S>6999</S> upon the altar<S>4196</S> of incense<S>7004</S>.


text:
And Azariah<S>5838</S> the priest<S>3548</S> went in<S>935</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>8084</S>, and with him eighty priests<S>3548</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, that were valiant<S>2428</S> men<S>1121</S>:


text:
And they withstood<S>5975</S> Uzziah<S>5818</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5818</S>, It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense<S>6999</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, but to the priests<S>3548</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S>, that are consecrated<S>6942</S> to burn incense<S>6999</S>: go out<S>3318</S> of the sanctuary<S>4720</S>; for you have trespassed<S>4603</S>; neither shall it be for your honor<S>3519</S> from the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S>.


text:
Then Uzziah<S>5818</S> was angry<S>2196</S>, and had a censer<S>4730</S> in his hand<S>3027</S> to burn incense<S>6999</S>: and while he was angry<S>2196</S> with the priests<S>3548</S>, the leprosy<S>6883</S> even rose up<S>2224</S> in his forehead<S>4696</S> before<S>6440</S> the priests<S>3548</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, from beside the incense<S>7004</S> altar<S>4196</S>.


text:
And Azariah<S>5838</S> the chief<S>7218</S> priest<S>3548</S>, and all the priests<S>3548</S>, looked<S>6437</S> upon him<S>6879</S>, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead<S>4696</S>, and they thrust him out<S>926</S> from there<S>1765</S>; Yes, even he hurried to go out<S>3318</S>, because the Lord<S>3068</S> had struck him<S>5060</S>.


text:
And Uzziah<S>5818</S> the king<S>4428</S> was a leper<S>6879</S> unto the day<S>3117</S> of his death<S>4194</S>, and lived in<S>3427</S> a separate<S>2669</S> house<S>1004</S>, being a leper<S>6879</S>; for he was cut off<S>1504</S> from the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: and Jotham<S>3147</S> his son<S>1121</S> was over the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, judging<S>8199</S> the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Uzziah<S>5818</S>, first<S>7223</S> and last<S>314</S>, did Isaiah<S>3470</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Amoz<S>531</S>, write<S>3789</S>.


text:
So Uzziah<S>5818</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and they buried<S>6912</S> him with his fathers<S>1</S> in the field<S>7704</S> of the burial<S>6900</S> which belonged to the kings<S>4428</S>; for they said<S>559</S>, He is a leper<S>6879</S>: and Jotham<S>3147</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Jotham<S>3147</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> and five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> sixteen<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. His mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> also was Jerushah<S>3388</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Zadok<S>6659</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, according to all that his father<S>1</S> Uzziah<S>5818</S> did<S>6213</S>: but he entered<S>935</S> not into the temple<S>1964</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>. And the people<S>5971</S> still did corruptly<S>7843</S>.


text:
He built<S>1129</S> the high<S>5945</S> gate<S>8179</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and on the wall<S>2346</S> of Ophel<S>6077</S> he built<S>1129</S> much<S>7230</S>.


text:
Moreover he built<S>1129</S> cities<S>5892</S> in the mountains<S>2022</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and in the forests<S>2793</S> he built<S>1129</S> castles<S>1003</S> and towers<S>4026</S>.


text:
He fought<S>3898</S> also with the king<S>4428</S> of the Ammonites<S>5984</S>, and prevailed<S>2388</S> against them<S>1121</S>. And the sons of Ammon<S>5983</S> gave<S>5414</S> him the same year<S>8141</S> an hundred<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> measures<S>3734</S> of wheat<S>2406</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> of barley<S>8184</S>. So much did the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> pay<S>7725</S> unto<S>2063</S> him<S>8145</S>, both the second year<S>8141</S>, and the third<S>7992</S>.

So Jotham<S>3147</S> became mighty<S>2388</S>, because he prepared<S>3559</S> his ways<S>1870</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jotham<S>3147</S>, and all his wars<S>4421</S>, and his ways<S>1870</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
He was five<S>2568</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and reigned<S>4427</S> sixteen<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And Jotham<S>3147</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and they buried<S>6912</S> him in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and Ahaz<S>271</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Ahaz<S>271</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> sixteen<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: but he did<S>6213</S> not do that which was right<S>3477</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, like David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>:


text:
For he walked in<S>3212</S> the ways<S>1870</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and made<S>6213</S> also molten images<S>4541</S> for Baalim<S>1168</S>.


text:
Moreover he burnt incense<S>6999</S> in the valley<S>1516</S> of the son<S>1121</S> of Hinnom<S>2011</S>, and burnt<S>1197</S> his sons<S>1121</S> in the fire<S>784</S>, after the abominations<S>8441</S> of the heathen<S>1471</S> whom the Lord<S>3068</S> had cast out<S>3423</S> before<S>6440</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
He sacrificed<S>2076</S> also and burnt incense<S>6999</S> in the high places<S>1116</S>, and on the hills<S>1389</S>, and under every green<S>7488</S> tree<S>6086</S>.


text:
Therefore the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S> delivered<S>5414</S> him into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>; and they struck<S>5221</S> him<S>7617</S>, and carried away a great multitude<S>1419</S> of them captives<S>7633</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them to Damascus<S>1834</S>. And he was also delivered<S>5414</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who struck<S>5221</S> him with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>.


text:
For Pekah<S>6492</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Remaliah<S>7425</S> killed<S>2026</S> in Judah<S>3063</S> an hundred<S>3967</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> in one<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S>, which were all valiant<S>2428</S> men<S>1121</S>; because they had forsaken<S>5800</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
And Zichri<S>2147</S>, a mighty man<S>1368</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, killed<S>2026</S> Maaseiah<S>4641</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S>, and Azrikam<S>5840</S> the governor<S>5057</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, and Elkanah<S>511</S> that was next<S>4932</S> to the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> carried away captive<S>7617</S> of their brothers<S>251</S> two hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S>, women<S>802</S>, sons<S>1121</S>, and daughters<S>1323</S>, and took also away<S>962</S> much<S>7227</S> plunder<S>7998</S> from them<S>935</S>, and brought the plunder<S>7998</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
But a prophet<S>5030</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was there<S>8034</S>, whose name was Oded<S>5752</S>: and he went out<S>3318</S> before<S>6440</S> the army<S>6635</S> that came<S>935</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3068</S>, Behold, because the Lord God<S>430</S> of your fathers<S>1</S> was angry<S>2534</S> with Judah<S>3063</S>, he has delivered<S>5414</S> them into your hand<S>3027</S>, and you have slain<S>2026</S> them in a rage<S>2197</S> that reaches up<S>5060</S> unto heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
And now you purpose<S>559</S> to keep under<S>3533</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S> for bondmen<S>5650</S> and bondwomen<S>8198</S> unto you<S>7535</S>: but are there not with you, even with you<S>819</S>, sins against the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>?


text:
Now hear<S>8085</S> me therefore<S>7725</S>, and deliver the captives<S>7633</S> again<S>7617</S>, which you have taken captive of your brothers<S>251</S>: for the fierce<S>2740</S> wrath<S>639</S> of the Lord is upon you<S>3068</S>.


text:
Then certain<S>582</S> of the heads<S>7218</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, Azariah<S>5838</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Johanan<S>3076</S>, Berechiah<S>1296</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Meshillemoth<S>4919</S>, and Jehizkiah<S>3169</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shallum<S>7967</S>, and Amasa<S>6021</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hadlai<S>2311</S>, stood up<S>6965</S> against them that came<S>935</S> from the war<S>6635</S>,


text:
And said<S>559</S> unto them<S>935</S>, You shall not bring in the captives<S>7633</S> here<S>819</S>: for whereas we have offended against the Lord<S>3068</S> already<S>559</S>, you intend to add<S>3254</S> more to our sins<S>2403</S> and to our trespass<S>819</S>: for our trespass<S>819</S> is great<S>7227</S>, and there is fierce<S>2740</S> wrath<S>639</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
So the armed men<S>2502</S> left<S>5800</S> the captives<S>7633</S> and the plunder<S>961</S> before<S>6440</S> the princes<S>8269</S> and all the congregation<S>6951</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> which were expressed<S>5344</S> by name<S>8034</S> rose up<S>6965</S>, and took<S>2388</S> the captives<S>7633</S>, and with the plunder<S>7998</S> clothed<S>3847</S> all that were naked<S>4636</S> among them<S>3847</S>, and arrayed them<S>5274</S>, and put shoes on them<S>398</S>, and gave them to eat and to drink<S>8248</S>, and anointed<S>5480</S> them<S>5095</S>, and carried all the feeble<S>3782</S> of them upon donkeys<S>2543</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them to Jericho<S>3405</S>, the city<S>5892</S> of palm trees<S>8558</S>, to<S>681</S> their brothers<S>251</S>: then they returned<S>7725</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
At that time<S>6256</S> did king<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> send<S>7971</S> unto the kings<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> to help him<S>5826</S>.


text:
For again the Edomites<S>130</S> had come<S>935</S> and struck<S>5221</S> Judah<S>3063</S>, and carried away<S>7617</S> captives<S>7628</S>.


text:
The Philistines<S>6430</S> also had invaded<S>6584</S> the cities<S>5892</S> of the low country<S>8219</S>, and of the south<S>5045</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and had taken<S>3920</S> Beth<S>1053</S>–shemesh, and Ajalon<S>357</S>, and Gederoth<S>1450</S>, and Shocho<S>7755</S> with the villages<S>1323</S> there<S>8553</S>, and Timnah with the villages<S>1323</S> there<S>1579</S>, Gimzo also and the villages<S>1323</S> there<S>3427</S>: and they lived there.


text:
For the Lord<S>3068</S> brought<S>3665</S> Judah<S>3063</S> low<S>3665</S> because of Ahaz<S>271</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; for he made<S>6544</S> Judah<S>3063</S> naked<S>6544</S>, and transgressed<S>4603</S> severely<S>4604</S> against the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Tilgath<S>8407</S>–pilneser king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> came<S>935</S> unto him<S>6696</S>, and distressed him<S>2388</S>, but strengthened him not.


text:
For Ahaz<S>271</S> took away a portion<S>2505</S> out of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and out of the house<S>1004</S> of the king<S>4428</S>, and of the princes<S>8269</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> it unto the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>: but he helped him not<S>5833</S>.


text:
And in the time<S>6256</S> of his distress<S>6887</S> did he trespass<S>4603</S> yet more<S>3254</S> against the Lord<S>3068</S>: this is that king<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S>.


text:
For he sacrificed<S>2076</S> unto the gods<S>430</S> of Damascus<S>1834</S>, which struck<S>5221</S> him<S>559</S>: and he said, Because the gods<S>430</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> help<S>5826</S> them<S>2076</S>, therefore will I sacrifice to them<S>5826</S>, that they may help me<S>3782</S>. But they were the ruin of him<S>3478</S>, and of all Israel.


text:
And Ahaz<S>271</S> gathered together<S>622</S> the vessels<S>3627</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, and cut in pieces<S>7112</S> the vessels<S>3627</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, and shut up<S>5462</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and he made<S>6213</S> him altars<S>4196</S> in every corner<S>6438</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And in every several city<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> he made<S>6213</S> high places<S>1116</S> to burn incense<S>6999</S> unto other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, and provoked to anger<S>3707</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of his fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of his acts<S>1697</S> and of all his ways<S>1870</S>, first<S>7223</S> and last<S>314</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Ahaz<S>271</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and they buried<S>6912</S> him in the city<S>5892</S>, even in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: but they brought<S>935</S> him not into the tombs<S>6913</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: and Hezekiah<S>3169</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Hezekiah<S>3169</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> when he was five<S>2568</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> nine<S>8672</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Abijah<S>29</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Zechariah<S>2148</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, according to all that David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S> had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
He in the first<S>7223</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4427</S>, in the first<S>7223</S> month<S>2320</S>, opened<S>6605</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and repaired them<S>2388</S>.


text:
And he brought in<S>935</S> the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S>, and gathered them together<S>622</S> into the east<S>4217</S> street<S>7339</S>,


text:
And said<S>559</S> unto them<S>8085</S>, Hear me<S>3881</S>, you Levites, sanctify<S>6942</S> now yourselves<S>6942</S>, and sanctify the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of your fathers<S>1</S>, and carry forth<S>3318</S> the filthiness<S>5079</S> out of the holy place<S>6944</S>.


text:
For our fathers<S>1</S> have trespassed<S>4603</S>, and done<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>, and have forsaken<S>5800</S> him<S>5437</S>, and have turned away their faces<S>6440</S> from the habitation<S>4908</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and turned<S>5414</S> their backs<S>6203</S>.


text:
Also they have shut up<S>5462</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of the porch<S>197</S>, and put out<S>3518</S> the lamps<S>5216</S>, and have not burned<S>6999</S> incense<S>7004</S> nor offered<S>5927</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S> in the holy<S>6944</S> place unto the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Why the wrath<S>7110</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was upon Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and he has delivered<S>5414</S> them to trouble<S>2189</S>, to astonishment<S>8047</S>, and to hissing<S>8322</S>, as you see<S>7200</S> with your eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
For<S>1</S>, behold, our fathers have fallen<S>5307</S> by the sword<S>2719</S>, and our sons<S>1121</S> and our daughters<S>1323</S> and our wives<S>802</S> are in captivity for this<S>7628</S>.


text:
Now it is in my heart<S>3824</S> to make<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that his fierce<S>2740</S> wrath<S>639</S> may turn away from us<S>7725</S>.


text:
My sons<S>1121</S>, be not now negligent<S>7952</S>: for the Lord<S>3068</S> has chosen<S>977</S> you to stand<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>8334</S>, to serve him<S>8334</S>, and that you should minister unto him<S>6999</S>, and burn incense.


text:
Then the Levites<S>3881</S> arose<S>6965</S>, Mahath<S>4287</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Amasai<S>6022</S>, and Joel<S>3100</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Azariah<S>5838</S>, of the sons<S>1121</S> of the Kohathites<S>6956</S>: and of the sons<S>1121</S> of Merari<S>4847</S>, Kish<S>7027</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Abdi<S>5660</S>, and Azariah<S>5838</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehalelel<S>3094</S>: and of the Gershonites<S>1649</S>; Joah<S>3098</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zimmah<S>2155</S>, and Eden<S>5731</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joah<S>3098</S>:


text:
And of the sons<S>1121</S> of Elizaphan<S>469</S>; Shimri<S>8113</S>, and Jeiel<S>3273</S>: and of the sons<S>1121</S> of Asaph<S>623</S>; Zechariah<S>2148</S>, and Mattaniah<S>4983</S>:


text:
And of the sons<S>1121</S> of Heman<S>1968</S>; Jehiel<S>3171</S>, and Shimei<S>8096</S>: and of the sons<S>1121</S> of Jeduthun<S>3038</S>; Shemaiah<S>8098</S>, and Uzziel<S>5816</S>.


text:
And they gathered<S>622</S> their brothers<S>251</S>, and sanctified<S>6942</S> themselves<S>935</S>, and came, according to the commandment<S>4687</S> of the king<S>4428</S>, by the words<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, to cleanse<S>2891</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the priests<S>3548</S> went<S>935</S> into the inner part<S>6441</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, to cleanse<S>2891</S> it<S>3318</S>, and brought out all the uncleanness<S>2932</S> that they found<S>4672</S> in the temple<S>1964</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> into the court<S>2691</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>. And the Levites<S>3881</S> took<S>6901</S> it<S>3318</S>, to carry it out abroad<S>2351</S> into the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>.


text:
Now they began<S>2490</S> on the first<S>259</S> day of the first<S>7223</S> month<S>2320</S> to sanctify<S>6942</S>, and on the eighth<S>8083</S> day<S>3117</S> of the month<S>2320</S> came<S>935</S> they to the porch<S>197</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: so they sanctified<S>6942</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> in eight<S>8083</S> days<S>3117</S>; and in the sixteenth<S>8337</S> day of the first<S>7223</S> month<S>2320</S> they made an end<S>3615</S>.


text:
Then they went<S>935</S> in<S>6441</S> to Hezekiah<S>2396</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S>, We have cleansed<S>2891</S> all the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the altar<S>4196</S> of burnt offering<S>5930</S>, with all the vessels<S>3627</S> there<S>4635</S>, and the showbread table<S>7979</S>, with all the vessels there<S>3627</S>.


text:
Moreover all the vessels<S>3627</S>, which king<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> in his reign<S>4438</S> did cast away<S>2186</S> in his transgression<S>4604</S>, have we prepared<S>3559</S> and sanctified<S>6942</S>, and<S>6440</S>, behold, they are before the altar<S>4196</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Then Hezekiah<S>3169</S> the king<S>4428</S> rose early<S>7925</S>, and gathered<S>622</S> the rulers<S>8269</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and went up<S>5927</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.

And they brought<S>935</S> seven<S>7651</S> bullocks<S>6499</S>, and seven<S>7651</S> rams<S>352</S>, and seven<S>7651</S> lambs<S>3532</S>, and seven<S>7651</S> he<S>6842</S> goats<S>5795</S>, for a sin offering<S>2403</S> for the kingdom<S>4467</S>, and for the sanctuary<S>4720</S>, and for Judah<S>3063</S>. And he commanded<S>559</S> the priests<S>3548</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S> to offer<S>5927</S> them on the altar<S>4196</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
So they killed<S>7819</S> the bullocks<S>1241</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S> received<S>6901</S> the blood<S>1818</S>, and sprinkled<S>2236</S> it on the altar<S>4196</S>: likewise<S>7819</S>, when they had killed the rams<S>352</S>, they sprinkled<S>2236</S> the blood<S>1818</S> upon the altar<S>4196</S>: they killed<S>7819</S> also the lambs<S>3532</S>, and they sprinkled<S>2236</S> the blood<S>1818</S> upon the altar<S>4196</S>.


text:
And they brought forth<S>5066</S> the he goats<S>8163</S> for the sin offering<S>2403</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> and the congregation<S>6951</S>; and they laid<S>5564</S> their hands upon them<S>3027</S>:


text:
And the priests<S>3548</S> killed<S>7819</S> them<S>2398</S>, and they made reconciliation with their blood<S>1818</S> upon the altar<S>4196</S>, to make an atonement<S>3722</S> for all Israel<S>3478</S>: for the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>559</S> that the burnt offering<S>5930</S> and the sin offering<S>2403</S> should be made for all Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And he set<S>5975</S> the Levites<S>3881</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> with cymbals<S>4700</S>, with psalteries<S>5035</S>, and with harps<S>3658</S>, according to the commandment<S>4687</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and of Gad<S>1410</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s seer<S>2374</S>, and Nathan<S>5416</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>: for so was the commandment<S>4687</S> of<S>3027</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> by<S>3027</S> his prophets<S>5030</S>.


text:
And the Levites<S>3881</S> stood<S>5975</S> with the instruments<S>3627</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S> with the trumpets<S>2689</S>.


text:
And Hezekiah<S>2396</S> commanded<S>559</S> to offer<S>5927</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S> upon the altar<S>4196</S>. And when<S>6256</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S> began<S>2490</S>, the song<S>7892</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> began<S>2490</S> also with the trumpets<S>2689</S>, and with the instruments<S>3627</S> ordained by<S>3027</S> David<S>1732</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And all the congregation<S>6951</S> worshiped<S>7812</S>, and the singers<S>7892</S> sang<S>7891</S>, and the trumpeters<S>2689</S> sounded<S>2690</S>: and all this continued until the burnt offering<S>5930</S> was finished<S>3615</S>.


text:
And when they had made an end<S>3615</S> of offering<S>5927</S>, the king<S>4428</S> and all that were present<S>4672</S> with him bowed<S>3766</S> themselves<S>7812</S>, and worshiped.


text:
Moreover Hezekiah<S>3169</S> the king<S>4428</S> and the princes<S>8269</S> commanded<S>559</S> the Levites<S>3881</S> to sing praise<S>1984</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> with the words<S>1697</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and of Asaph<S>623</S> the seer<S>2374</S>. And they sang praises<S>1984</S> with gladness<S>8057</S>, and they bowed their heads<S>6915</S> and worshiped<S>7812</S>.


text:
Then Hezekiah<S>3169</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Now you have consecrated<S>4390</S> yourselves unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, come near<S>5066</S> and bring<S>935</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> and thank offerings<S>8426</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>. And the congregation<S>6951</S> brought in<S>935</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> and thank offerings<S>8426</S>; and as many as were of a willing<S>5081</S> heart<S>3820</S> brought burnt offerings<S>5930</S>.


text:
And the number<S>4557</S> of the burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, which the congregation<S>6951</S> brought<S>935</S>, was sixty and ten<S>7657</S> bullocks<S>1241</S>, a hundred<S>3967</S> rams<S>352</S>, and two hundred<S>3967</S> lambs<S>3532</S>: all these were for a burnt offering<S>5930</S> to the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the consecrated things<S>6944</S> were six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> oxen<S>1241</S> and three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>.


text:
But the priests<S>3548</S> were too few<S>4592</S>, so that they could<S>3201</S> not flay<S>6584</S> all the burnt offerings<S>5930</S>: that is why their brothers<S>251</S> the Levites<S>3881</S> did help<S>2388</S> them<S>4399</S>, until the work was ended<S>3615</S>, and until the other priests<S>3548</S> had sanctified<S>6942</S> themselves<S>3881</S>: for the Levites were more upright<S>3477</S> in heart<S>3824</S> to sanctify<S>6942</S> themselves than the priests<S>3548</S>.


text:
And also the burnt offerings<S>5930</S> were in abundance<S>7230</S>, with the fat<S>2459</S> of the peace offerings<S>8002</S>, and the drink offerings<S>5262</S> for every burnt offering<S>5930</S>. So the service<S>5656</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was set in order<S>3559</S>.


text:
And Hezekiah<S>3169</S> rejoiced<S>8055</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S>, that God<S>430</S> had prepared<S>3559</S> the people<S>5971</S>: for the thing<S>1697</S> was done suddenly<S>6597</S>.


text:
Then Solomon<S>8010</S> began<S>2490</S> to build<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S> in mountain<S>2022</S> Moriah<S>4179</S>, where the Lord appeared<S>7200</S> unto David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>, in the place<S>4725</S> that David<S>1732</S> had prepared<S>3559</S> in the threshingfloor<S>1637</S> of Ornan<S>771</S> the Jebusite<S>2983</S>.


text:
And he began<S>2490</S> to build<S>1129</S> in the second<S>8145</S> day of the second<S>8145</S> month<S>2320</S>, in the fourth<S>702</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4438</S>.


text:
Now these are the things where Solomon<S>8010</S> was instructed<S>3245</S> for the building<S>1129</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>. The length<S>753</S> by cubits<S>520</S> after the first<S>7223</S> measure<S>4060</S> was sixty<S>8346</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and the breadth<S>7341</S> twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S>.


text:
And the porch<S>197</S> that was in the front<S>6440</S> of the house<S>753</S>, the length of it was according to the breadth<S>7341</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and the height<S>1363</S> was a hundred<S>3967</S> and twenty<S>6242</S>: and he overlaid<S>6823</S> it inside<S>6441</S> with pure<S>2889</S> gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
And the greater<S>1419</S> house<S>1004</S> he made a ceiling<S>2645</S> with fir<S>1265</S> tree<S>6086</S>, which he overlaid<S>2645</S> with fine<S>2896</S> gold<S>2091</S>, and set<S>5927</S> on it palm trees<S>8561</S> and chains<S>8333</S>.


text:
And he garnished<S>6823</S> the house<S>1004</S> with precious<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S> for beauty<S>8597</S>: and the gold<S>2091</S> was gold<S>2091</S> of Parvaim<S>6516</S>.


text:
He overlaid<S>2645</S> also the house<S>1004</S>, the beams<S>6982</S>, the posts<S>5592</S>, and the walls<S>7023</S> there<S>1817</S>, and the doors there<S>2091</S>, with gold; and engraved<S>6605</S> cherubims<S>3742</S> on the walls<S>7023</S>.


text:
And he made<S>6213</S> the most<S>6944</S> holy<S>6944</S> house<S>1004</S>, the length<S>753</S> whereof was according to<S>6440</S> the breadth<S>7341</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and the breadth<S>7341</S> there twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S>: and he overlaid<S>2645</S> it with fine<S>2896</S> gold<S>2091</S>, amounting to six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S>.


text:
And the weight<S>4948</S> of the nails<S>4548</S> was fifty<S>2572</S> shekels<S>8255</S> of gold<S>2091</S>. And he overlaid<S>2645</S> the upper chambers<S>5944</S> with gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
And in the most<S>6944</S> holy<S>6944</S> house<S>1004</S> he made<S>6213</S> two<S>8147</S> cherubims<S>3742</S> of image<S>6816</S> work<S>4639</S>, and overlaid<S>6823</S> them with gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
And the wings<S>3671</S> of the cherubims<S>3742</S> were twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S> long<S>753</S>: one<S>259</S> wing<S>3671</S> of the one cherub was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S>, reaching<S>5060</S> to the wall<S>7023</S> of the house<S>1004</S>: and the other<S>312</S> wing<S>3671</S> was likewise five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S>, reaching<S>5060</S> to the wing<S>3671</S> of the other<S>312</S> cherub<S>3742</S>.


text:
And one wing<S>3671</S> of the other<S>259</S> cherub<S>3742</S> was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S>, reaching<S>5060</S> to the wall<S>7023</S> of the house<S>1004</S>: and the other<S>312</S> wing<S>3671</S> was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S> also<S>1695</S>, joining to the wing<S>3671</S> of the other<S>312</S> cherub<S>3742</S>.


text:
The wings<S>3671</S> of these cherubims<S>3742</S> spread themselves forth<S>6566</S> twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S>: and they stood<S>5975</S> on their feet<S>7272</S>, and their faces<S>6440</S> were inward<S>1004</S>.


text:
And he made<S>6213</S> the veil<S>6532</S> of blue<S>8504</S>, and purple<S>713</S>, and crimson<S>3758</S>, and fine linen<S>948</S>, and worked<S>5927</S> cherubims on it<S>3742</S>.


text:
Also he made<S>6213</S> before<S>6440</S> the house<S>1004</S> two<S>8147</S> pillars<S>5982</S> of thirty<S>7970</S> and five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S> high<S>753</S>, and the capital<S>6858</S> that was on the top<S>7218</S> of each of them was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S>.


text:
And he made<S>6213</S> chains<S>8333</S>, as in the oracle<S>1687</S>, and put<S>5414</S> them on the heads<S>7218</S> of the pillars<S>5982</S>; and made<S>6213</S> an hundred<S>3967</S> pomegranates<S>7416</S>, and put<S>5414</S> them on the chains<S>8333</S>.


text:
And he reared up<S>6965</S> the pillars<S>5982</S> before<S>6440</S> the temple<S>1964</S>, one<S>259</S> on the right hand<S>3225</S>, and the other<S>259</S> on the left<S>8040</S>; and called<S>7121</S> the name<S>8034</S> of that on the right hand<S>3233</S> Jachin<S>3199</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of that on the left<S>8042</S> Boaz<S>1162</S>.


text:
And Hezekiah<S>3169</S> sent<S>7971</S> to all Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>, and wrote<S>3789</S> letters<S>107</S> also to Ephraim<S>669</S> and Manasseh<S>4519</S>, that they should come<S>935</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, to keep<S>6213</S> the passover<S>6453</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
For the king<S>4428</S> had taken counsel<S>3289</S>, and his princes<S>8269</S>, and all the congregation<S>6951</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, to keep<S>6213</S> the passover<S>6453</S> in the second<S>8145</S> month<S>2320</S>.


text:
For they could<S>3201</S> not keep<S>6213</S> it at that time<S>6256</S>, because the priests<S>3548</S> had not sanctified<S>6942</S> themselves sufficiently<S>4078</S>, neither had the people<S>5971</S> gathered themselves together<S>622</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And the thing<S>1697</S> pleased<S>3474</S> the king<S>4428</S> and all the congregation<S>6951</S>.


text:
So they established<S>5975</S> a decree<S>1697</S> to make proclamation<S>5674</S> throughout all Israel<S>3478</S>, from Beer<S>884</S>–sheba even to Dan<S>1835</S>, that they should come<S>935</S> to keep<S>6213</S> the passover<S>6453</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: for they had not done<S>6213</S> it of a long<S>7230</S> time in such sort as it was written<S>3789</S>.


text:
So the posts<S>7323</S> went<S>3212</S> with the letters<S>107</S> from<S>3027</S> the king<S>4428</S> and his princes<S>8269</S> throughout all Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>, and according to the commandment<S>4687</S> of the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>559</S>, You sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, turn again<S>7725</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Abraham<S>85</S>, Isaac<S>3327</S>, and Israel<S>3478</S>, and he will return<S>7725</S> to the remnant<S>7604</S> of you<S>6413</S>, that are escaped out of the hand<S>3709</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>.


text:
And be not you like your fathers<S>1</S>, and like your brothers<S>251</S>, which trespassed<S>4603</S> against the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>, who therefore gave them up<S>5414</S> to desolation<S>8047</S>, as you see<S>7200</S>.


text:
Now be you not stiffnecked<S>7185</S>, as your fathers<S>1</S> were<S>5414</S>, but yield yourselves<S>3027</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, and enter<S>935</S> into his sanctuary<S>4720</S>, which he has sanctified<S>6942</S> for ever<S>5769</S>: and serve<S>5647</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, that the fierceness<S>2740</S> of his wrath<S>639</S> may turn away from you<S>7725</S>.


text:
For if you turn again<S>7725</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, your brothers<S>251</S> and your sons<S>1121</S> shall find compassion<S>7356</S> before<S>6440</S> them that lead them captive<S>7617</S>, so that they shall come again<S>7725</S> into this land<S>776</S>: for the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> is gracious<S>2587</S> and merciful<S>7349</S>, and will not turn away<S>5493</S> his face<S>6440</S> from you<S>7725</S>, if you return unto him.


text:
So the posts<S>7323</S> passed<S>5674</S> from city<S>5892</S> to city<S>5892</S> through the country<S>776</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S> and Manasseh<S>4519</S> even unto Zebulun<S>2074</S>: but they laughed them to scorn<S>7832</S>, and mocked them<S>3932</S>.


text:
Nevertheless various<S>582</S> of Asher<S>836</S> and Manasseh<S>4519</S> and of Zebulun<S>2074</S> humbled<S>3665</S> themselves<S>935</S>, and came to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Also in Judah<S>3063</S> the hand<S>3027</S> of God<S>430</S> was to give<S>5414</S> them one<S>259</S> heart<S>3820</S> to do<S>6213</S> the commandment<S>4687</S> of the king<S>4428</S> and of the princes<S>8269</S>, by the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And there assembled<S>622</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S> much<S>7227</S> people<S>5971</S> to keep<S>6213</S> the feast<S>2282</S> of unleavened bread<S>4682</S> in the second<S>8145</S> month<S>2320</S>, a very<S>3966</S> great<S>7230</S> congregation<S>6951</S>.


text:
And they arose<S>6965</S> and took away<S>5493</S> the altars<S>4196</S> that were in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and all the altars for incense<S>6999</S> took they away<S>5493</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> them into the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>.


text:
Then they killed<S>7819</S> the passover<S>6453</S> on the fourteenth<S>702</S> day of the second<S>8145</S> month<S>2320</S>: and the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S> were ashamed<S>3637</S>, and sanctified<S>6942</S> themselves<S>935</S>, and brought in the burnt offerings<S>5930</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And they stood<S>5975</S> in their place<S>5977</S> after their manner<S>4941</S>, according to the law<S>8451</S> of Moses<S>4872</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>: the priests<S>3548</S> sprinkled<S>2236</S> the blood<S>1818</S>, which they received of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Levites<S>3881</S>.


text:
For there were many<S>7227</S> in the congregation<S>6951</S> that were not sanctified<S>6942</S>: therefore the Levites<S>3881</S> had the charge of the killing<S>7821</S> of the passovers<S>6453</S> for every one that was not clean<S>2889</S>, to sanctify<S>6942</S> them unto the Lord<S>3068</S>.

For a multitude<S>4768</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, even many<S>7227</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, and Manasseh<S>4519</S>, Issachar<S>3485</S>, and Zebulun<S>2074</S>, had not<S>3808</S> cleansed<S>2891</S> themselves<S>398</S>, yet did they eat the passover<S>6453</S> otherwise than it was written<S>3789</S>. But Hezekiah<S>3169</S> prayed<S>6419</S> for them<S>559</S>, saying, The good<S>2896</S> Lord<S>3068</S> pardon every one<S>3722</S>


text:
That prepareth<S>3559</S> his heart<S>3824</S> to seek<S>1875</S> God<S>430</S>, the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of his fathers<S>1</S>, though he be not cleansed according to the purification<S>2893</S> of the sanctuary<S>6944</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> listened<S>8085</S> to Hezekiah<S>3169</S>, and healed<S>7495</S> the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that were present<S>4672</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S> kept<S>6213</S> the feast<S>2282</S> of unleavened bread<S>4682</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S> with great<S>1419</S> gladness<S>8057</S>: and the Levites<S>3881</S> and the priests<S>3548</S> praised<S>1984</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> day<S>3117</S> by day<S>3117</S>, singing with loud<S>5797</S> instruments<S>3627</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Hezekiah<S>3169</S> spoke<S>1696</S> comfortably<S>3820</S> unto all the Levites<S>3881</S> that taught<S>7919</S> the good<S>2896</S> knowledge<S>7922</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: and they did eat<S>398</S> throughout the feast<S>4150</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>, offering<S>2076</S> peace<S>8002</S> offerings<S>2077</S>, and making confession<S>3034</S> to the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
And the whole assembly<S>6951</S> took counsel<S>3289</S> to keep<S>6213</S> other<S>312</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>: and they kept<S>6213</S> other seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S> with gladness<S>8057</S>.


text:
For Hezekiah<S>2396</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> did give<S>7311</S> to the congregation<S>6951</S> a thousand<S>505</S> bullocks<S>6499</S> and seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>; and the princes<S>8269</S> gave<S>7311</S> to the congregation<S>6951</S> a thousand<S>505</S> bullocks<S>6499</S> and ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>: and a great number<S>7230</S> of priests<S>3548</S> sanctified themselves<S>6942</S>.


text:
And all the congregation<S>6951</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, with the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S>, and all the congregation<S>6951</S> that came out<S>935</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and the strangers<S>1616</S> that came out<S>935</S> of the land<S>776</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and that lived<S>3427</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>, rejoiced<S>8055</S>.


text:
So there was great<S>1419</S> joy<S>8057</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: for since the time<S>3117</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> the son<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> there was not the like in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Then the priests<S>3548</S> the Levites<S>3881</S> arose<S>6965</S> and blessed<S>1288</S> the people<S>5971</S>: and their voice<S>6963</S> was heard<S>8085</S>, and their prayer<S>8605</S> came<S>935</S> up to his holy<S>6944</S> living place<S>4583</S>, even unto heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
Now when all this was finished<S>3615</S>, all Israel<S>3478</S> that were present<S>4672</S> went out<S>3318</S> to the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and broke<S>7665</S> the images<S>4676</S> in pieces<S>7665</S>, and cut down<S>1438</S> the groves<S>842</S>, and threw down<S>5422</S> the high places<S>1116</S> and the altars<S>4196</S> out of all Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>, in Ephraim<S>669</S> also and Manasseh<S>4519</S>, until they had utterly destroyed<S>3615</S> them all<S>1121</S>. Then all the sons of Israel<S>3478</S> returned<S>7725</S>, every man<S>376</S> to his possession<S>272</S>, into their own cities<S>5892</S>.


text:
And Hezekiah<S>3169</S> appointed<S>5975</S> the courses<S>4256</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S> after their courses<S>4256</S>, every man<S>376</S> according<S>6310</S> to his service<S>5656</S>, the priests<S>3548</S> and Levites<S>3881</S> for burnt offerings<S>5930</S> and for peace offerings<S>8002</S>, to minister<S>8334</S>, and to give thanks<S>3034</S>, and to praise<S>1984</S> in the gates<S>8179</S> of the tents<S>4264</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
He appointed also the king<S>4428</S>'s portion<S>4521</S> of his substance<S>7399</S> for the burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, for the morning<S>1242</S> and evening<S>6153</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, and the burnt offerings<S>5930</S> for the sabbaths<S>7676</S>, and for the new moons<S>2320</S>, and for the set feasts<S>4150</S>, as it is written<S>3789</S> in the law<S>8451</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Moreover he commanded<S>559</S> the people<S>5971</S> that lived<S>3427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to give<S>5414</S> the portion<S>4521</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S>, that they might be encouraged<S>2388</S> in the law<S>8451</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And as soon as the commandment<S>1697</S> came abroad<S>6555</S>, the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> brought<S>935</S> in abundance<S>7235</S> the firstfruits<S>7225</S> of corn<S>1715</S>, wine<S>8492</S>, and oil<S>3323</S>, and honey<S>1706</S>, and of all the increase<S>8393</S> of the field<S>7704</S>; and the tithe<S>4643</S> of all things brought<S>935</S> they in abundantly<S>7230</S>.


text:
And concerning the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>, that lived<S>3427</S> in the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, they also brought in<S>935</S> the tithe<S>4643</S> of oxen<S>1241</S> and sheep<S>6629</S>, and the tithe<S>4643</S> of holy things<S>6944</S> which were consecrated<S>6942</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, and laid<S>5414</S> them by heaps<S>6194</S>.


text:
In the third<S>7992</S> month<S>2320</S> they began<S>2490</S> to lay the foundation<S>3245</S> of the heaps<S>6194</S>, and finished<S>3615</S> them in the seventh<S>7637</S> month<S>2320</S>.


text:
And when Hezekiah<S>3169</S> and the princes<S>8269</S> came<S>935</S> and saw<S>7200</S> the heaps<S>6194</S>, they blessed<S>1288</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and his people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Then Hezekiah<S>3169</S> questioned<S>1875</S> with the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S> concerning the heaps<S>6194</S>.


text:
And Azariah<S>5838</S> the chief<S>7218</S> priest<S>3548</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Zadok<S>6659</S> answered<S>559</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, Since the people began<S>2490</S> to bring<S>935</S> the offerings<S>8641</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, we have had enough<S>7646</S> to eat<S>398</S>, and have left<S>3498</S> plenty<S>7230</S>: for the Lord<S>3068</S> has blessed<S>1288</S> his people<S>5971</S>; and that which is left<S>3498</S> is this great store<S>1995</S>.


text:
Then Hezekiah<S>3169</S> commanded<S>559</S> to prepare<S>3559</S> chambers<S>3957</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>; and they prepared them<S>3559</S>,


text:
And brought in<S>935</S> the offerings<S>8641</S> and the tithes<S>4643</S> and the dedicated<S>6944</S> things faithfully<S>530</S>: over which Cononiah<S>3562</S> the Levite<S>3881</S> was ruler<S>5057</S>, and Shimei<S>8096</S> his brother<S>251</S> was the next<S>4932</S>.


text:
And Jehiel<S>3171</S>, and Azaziah<S>5812</S>, and Nahath<S>5184</S>, and Asahel<S>6214</S>, and Jerimoth<S>3406</S>, and Jozabad<S>3107</S>, and Eliel<S>447</S>, and Ismachiah<S>3253</S>, and Mahath<S>4287</S>, and Benaiah<S>1141</S>, were overseers<S>6496</S> under the hand<S>3027</S> of Cononiah<S>3562</S> and Shimei<S>8096</S> his brother<S>251</S>, at the commandment<S>4662</S> of Hezekiah<S>3169</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and Azariah<S>5838</S> the ruler<S>5057</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
And Kore<S>6981</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Imnah<S>3232</S> the Levite<S>3881</S>, the porter<S>7778</S> toward the east<S>4217</S>, was over the freewill offerings<S>5071</S> of God<S>430</S>, to distribute<S>5414</S> the oblations<S>8641</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the most<S>6944</S> holy things<S>6944</S>.


text:
And under him were Eden<S>5731</S>, and Miniamin<S>4509</S>, and Jeshua<S>3442</S>, and Shemaiah<S>8098</S>, Amariah<S>568</S>, and Shecaniah<S>7935</S>, in the cities<S>5892</S> of the priests<S>3548</S>, in their set office<S>530</S>, to give<S>5414</S> to their brothers<S>251</S> by<S>3027</S> courses<S>4256</S>, as well to the great<S>1419</S> as to the small<S>6996</S>:


text:
Beside their genealogy<S>3187</S> of males<S>2145</S>, from three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> and upward<S>4605</S>, even unto every one that enters<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, his daily<S>3117</S> portion<S>1697</S> for their service<S>5656</S> in their charges<S>4931</S> according to their courses<S>4256</S>;


text:
Both to the genealogy<S>3187</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> by the house<S>1004</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S> from twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> and upward<S>4605</S>, in their charges<S>4931</S> by their courses<S>4256</S>;


text:
And to the genealogy<S>3187</S> of all their little ones<S>2945</S>, their wives<S>802</S>, and their sons<S>1121</S>, and their daughters<S>1323</S>, through all the congregation<S>6951</S>: for in their set office<S>530</S> they sanctified<S>6942</S> themselves in holiness<S>6944</S>:


text:
Also of the sons<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S> the priests<S>3548</S>, which were in the fields<S>7704</S> of the suburbs<S>4054</S> of their cities<S>5892</S>, in every several city<S>5892</S>, the men<S>582</S> that were expressed<S>5344</S> by name<S>8034</S>, to give<S>5414</S> portions<S>4490</S> to all the males<S>2145</S> among the priests<S>3548</S>, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies<S>3187</S> among the Levites<S>3881</S>.


text:
And thus did<S>6213</S> Hezekiah<S>3169</S> throughout all Judah<S>3063</S>, and worked<S>6213</S> that which was good<S>2896</S> and right<S>3477</S> and truth<S>571</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>.


text:
And in every work<S>4639</S> that he began<S>2490</S> in the service<S>5656</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, and in the law<S>8451</S>, and in the commandments<S>4687</S>, to seek<S>1875</S> his God<S>430</S>, he did<S>6213</S> it with all his heart<S>3824</S>, and prospered<S>6743</S>.


text:
After<S>310</S> these things<S>1697</S>, and the establishment<S>571</S> there<S>5576</S>, Sennacherib king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> came<S>935</S>, and entered<S>935</S> into Judah<S>3063</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> against the fenced<S>1219</S> cities<S>5892</S>, and thought<S>559</S> to win them for himself<S>1234</S>.


text:
And when Hezekiah<S>3169</S> saw<S>7200</S> that Sennacherib<S>5576</S> was come<S>935</S>, and that he was purposed<S>6440</S> to fight<S>4421</S> against Jerusalem<S>3389</S>,


text:
He took counsel<S>3289</S> with his princes<S>8269</S> and his mighty men<S>1368</S> to stop<S>5640</S> the waters<S>4325</S> of the fountains<S>5869</S> which were outside<S>2351</S> the city<S>5892</S>: and they did help him<S>5826</S>.


text:
So there was gathered<S>6908</S> much<S>7227</S> people<S>5971</S> together<S>6908</S>, who stopped<S>5640</S> all the fountains<S>4599</S>, and the brook<S>5158</S> that ran<S>7857</S> through the middle<S>8432</S> of the land<S>776</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Why should the kings<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> come<S>935</S>, and find<S>4672</S> much<S>7227</S> water<S>4325</S>?


text:
Also he strengthened<S>2388</S> himself<S>1129</S>, and built up all the wall<S>2346</S> that was broken<S>6555</S>, and raised it up<S>5927</S> to the towers<S>4026</S>, and another<S>312</S> wall<S>2346</S> outside<S>2351</S>, and repaired<S>2388</S> Millo<S>4407</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and made<S>6213</S> darts<S>7973</S> and shields<S>4043</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>.


text:
And he set<S>5414</S> captains<S>8269</S> of war<S>4421</S> over the people<S>5971</S>, and gathered them together<S>6908</S> to him in the street<S>7339</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and spoke<S>1696</S> comfortably<S>3824</S> to them<S>559</S>, saying,


text:
Be strong<S>2388</S> and courageous<S>553</S>, be not afraid<S>3372</S> nor dismayed<S>2865</S> for<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, nor for all the multitude<S>1995</S> that is with him<S>7227</S>: for there be more with us than with him:


text:
With him is an arm<S>2220</S> of flesh<S>1320</S>; but with us is the Lord<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S> to help<S>5826</S> us<S>3898</S>, and to fight our battles<S>4421</S>. And the people<S>5971</S> rested<S>5564</S> themselves upon the words<S>1697</S> of Hezekiah<S>3169</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
After<S>310</S> this did Sennacherib<S>5576</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> send<S>7971</S> his servants<S>5650</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, (but he himself laid siege against Lachish<S>3923</S>, and all his power<S>4475</S> with him<S>3169</S>,) unto Hezekiah king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and unto all Judah<S>3063</S> that were at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Thus says<S>559</S> Sennacherib<S>5576</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, Whereon do you trust<S>982</S>, that you stay<S>3427</S> in the siege<S>4692</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>?


text:
Does not Hezekiah<S>3169</S> persuade<S>5496</S> you to give<S>5414</S> over yourselves to die<S>4191</S> by famine<S>7458</S> and by thirst<S>6772</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The Lord<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S> shall deliver<S>5337</S> us out of the hand<S>3709</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>?


text:
Has not the same Hezekiah<S>3169</S> taken away<S>5493</S> his high places<S>1116</S> and his altars<S>4196</S>, and commanded<S>559</S> Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, saying<S>559</S>, You shall worship<S>7812</S> before<S>6440</S> one<S>259</S> altar<S>4196</S>, and burn incense upon it<S>6999</S>?


text:
Know<S>3045</S> you not what I and my fathers<S>1</S> have done<S>6213</S> unto all the people<S>5971</S> of other lands<S>776</S>? were the gods<S>430</S> of the nations<S>1471</S> of those lands<S>776</S> any ways<S>3201</S> able<S>3201</S> to deliver<S>5337</S> their lands<S>776</S> out of my hand<S>3027</S>?


text:
Who was there among all the gods<S>430</S> of those nations<S>1471</S> that my fathers<S>1</S> utterly destroyed<S>2763</S>, that could<S>3201</S> deliver<S>5337</S> his people<S>5971</S> out of my hand<S>3027</S>, that your God<S>430</S> should be able<S>3201</S> to deliver<S>5337</S> you out of my hand<S>3027</S>?


text:
Now therefore let not<S>3808</S> Hezekiah<S>2396</S> deceive<S>5377</S> you<S>5496</S>, nor persuade you on this manner<S>539</S>, neither yet believe him<S>433</S>: for no god of any nation<S>1471</S> or kingdom<S>4467</S> was able<S>3201</S> to deliver<S>5337</S> his people<S>5971</S> out of my hand<S>3027</S>, and out of the hand<S>3027</S> of my fathers<S>1</S>: how much less shall your God<S>430</S> deliver<S>5337</S> you out of my hand<S>3027</S>?


text:
And his servants<S>5650</S> spoke<S>1696</S> yet more against the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S>, and against his servant<S>5650</S> Hezekiah<S>3169</S>.

He wrote<S>3789</S> also letters<S>5612</S> to rail<S>2778</S> on the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and to speak<S>559</S> against him<S>559</S>, saying, As the gods<S>430</S> of the nations<S>1471</S> of other lands<S>776</S> have not delivered<S>5337</S> their people<S>5971</S> out of my hand<S>3027</S>, so shall not the God<S>430</S> of Hezekiah<S>3169</S> deliver<S>5337</S> his people<S>5971</S> out of my hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
Then they cried<S>7121</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S> in the Jews<S>3066</S>' speech unto the people<S>5971</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> that were on the wall<S>2346</S>, to frighten<S>3372</S> them<S>926</S>, and to trouble them<S>3920</S>; that they might take the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And they spoke<S>1696</S> against<S>5921</S> the God<S>430</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, as against the gods<S>430</S> of the people<S>5971</S> of the earth<S>776</S>, which were the work<S>4639</S> of the hands<S>3027</S> of man<S>120</S>.


text:
And for this cause Hezekiah<S>3169</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and the prophet<S>5030</S> Isaiah<S>3470</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Amoz<S>531</S>, prayed<S>6419</S> and cried<S>2199</S> to heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> an angel<S>4397</S>, which cut off<S>3582</S> all the mighty men<S>1368</S> of valor<S>2428</S>, and the leaders<S>5057</S> and captains<S>8269</S> in the camp<S>4264</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>. So he returned<S>7725</S> with shame<S>1322</S> of face<S>6440</S> to his own land<S>776</S>. And when he was come<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of his god<S>430</S>, they that came forth<S>3329</S> of his own bowels<S>4578</S> killed<S>5307</S> him there with the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
Thus the Lord<S>3068</S> saved<S>3467</S> Hezekiah<S>3169</S> and the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> from the hand<S>3027</S> of Sennacherib<S>5576</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, and from the hand<S>3027</S> of all other<S>5095</S>, and guided them on every side<S>5439</S>.


text:
And many<S>7227</S> brought<S>935</S> gifts<S>4503</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and presents<S>4030</S> to Hezekiah<S>3169</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>: so that he was magnified<S>5375</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of all nations<S>1471</S> from thenceforth<S>310</S>.


text:
In those days<S>3117</S> Hezekiah<S>3169</S> was sick<S>2470</S> to the death<S>4191</S>, and prayed<S>6419</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>: and he spoke<S>559</S> unto him<S>5414</S>, and he gave him a sign<S>4159</S>.


text:
But Hezekiah<S>3169</S> rendered not again<S>7725</S> according to the benefit<S>1576</S> done unto him<S>3820</S>; for his heart was lifted up<S>1361</S>: therefore there was wrath<S>7110</S> upon him<S>3063</S>, and upon Judah and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Nevertheless Hezekiah<S>3169</S> humbled<S>3665</S> himself for the pride<S>1363</S> of his heart<S>3820</S>, both he and the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, so that the wrath<S>7110</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came<S>935</S> not upon them in the days<S>3117</S> of Hezekiah<S>3169</S>.


text:
And Hezekiah<S>3169</S> had exceedingly<S>3966</S> much<S>7235</S> riches<S>6239</S> and honor<S>3519</S>: and he made<S>6213</S> himself treasuries<S>214</S> for silver<S>3701</S>, and for gold<S>2091</S>, and for precious<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>, and for spices<S>1314</S>, and for shields<S>4043</S>, and for all manner of pleasant<S>2532</S> jewels<S>3627</S>;


text:
Storehouses<S>4543</S> also for the increase<S>8393</S> of corn<S>1715</S>, and wine<S>8492</S>, and oil<S>3323</S>; and stalls<S>723</S> for all manner of animals<S>929</S>, and folds<S>220</S> for flocks<S>5739</S>.


text:
Moreover he provided<S>6213</S> him cities<S>5892</S>, and possessions<S>4735</S> of flocks<S>6629</S> and herds<S>1241</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>: for God<S>430</S> had given<S>5414</S> him substance<S>7399</S> very<S>3966</S> much<S>7227</S>.


text:
This same Hezekiah<S>3169</S> also stopped<S>5640</S> the upper<S>5945</S> watercourse<S>4161</S> of Gihon<S>1521</S>, and brought it straight<S>3474</S> down<S>4295</S> to the west side<S>4628</S> of the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>. And Hezekiah<S>3169</S> prospered<S>6743</S> in all his works<S>4639</S>.


text:
But<S>3651</S> in the business of the ambassadors<S>3887</S> of the princes<S>8269</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>, who sent<S>7971</S> unto him to inquire<S>1875</S> of the wonder<S>4159</S> that was done in the land<S>776</S>, God<S>430</S> left<S>5800</S> him<S>5254</S>, to try him<S>3045</S>, that he might know all that was in his heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Hezekiah<S>3169</S>, and his goodness<S>2617</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the vision<S>2377</S> of Isaiah<S>3470</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Amoz<S>531</S>, and in the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Hezekiah<S>3169</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and they buried<S>6912</S> him in the chiefest<S>4608</S> of the tombs<S>6913</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and all Judah<S>3063</S> and the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> did him<S>6213</S> honor<S>3519</S> at his death<S>4194</S>. And Manasseh<S>4519</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Manasseh<S>4519</S> was twelve<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> fifty<S>2572</S> and five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>:


text:
But did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, like unto the abominations<S>8441</S> of the heathen<S>1471</S>, whom the Lord<S>3068</S> had cast out<S>3423</S> before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
For he built<S>1129</S> again<S>7725</S> the high places<S>1116</S> which Hezekiah<S>3169</S> his father<S>1</S> had broken down<S>5422</S>, and he reared up<S>6965</S> altars<S>4196</S> for Baalim<S>1168</S>, and made<S>6213</S> groves<S>842</S>, and worshipped<S>7812</S> all the host<S>6635</S> of heaven<S>8064</S>, and served them<S>5647</S>.


text:
Also he built<S>1129</S> altars<S>4196</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, whereof the Lord<S>3068</S> had said<S>559</S>, In Jerusalem<S>3389</S> shall my name<S>8034</S> be for ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
And he built<S>1129</S> altars<S>4196</S> for all the host<S>6635</S> of heaven<S>8064</S> in the two<S>8147</S> courts<S>2691</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And he caused<S>5674</S> his children<S>1121</S> to pass through<S>5674</S> the fire<S>784</S> in the valley<S>1516</S> of the son<S>1121</S> of Hinnom<S>2011</S>: also he observed times<S>6049</S>, and used enchantments<S>5172</S>, and used witchcraft<S>3784</S>, and dealt<S>6213</S> with a familiar spirit<S>178</S>, and with wizards<S>3049</S>: he wrought<S>6213</S> much<S>7235</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, to provoke him to anger<S>3707</S>.


text:
And he set<S>7760</S> a carved image<S>6459</S>, the idol<S>5566</S> which he had made<S>6213</S>, in the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, of which God<S>430</S> had said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S> and to Solomon<S>8010</S> his son<S>1121</S>, In this house<S>1004</S>, and in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, which I have chosen<S>977</S> before all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, will I put<S>7760</S> my name<S>8034</S> for ever<S>5865</S>:


text:
Neither will I any more<S>3254</S> remove<S>5493</S> the foot<S>7272</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> from out<S>5921</S> of the land<S>127</S> which I have appointed<S>5975</S> for your fathers<S>1</S>; so that<S>518</S> they will take heed<S>8104</S> to do<S>6213</S> all that I have commanded<S>6680</S> them<S>8451</S>, according to the whole law and the statutes<S>2706</S> and the ordinances<S>4941</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>.


text:
So Manasseh<S>4519</S> made<S>8582</S> Judah<S>3063</S> and the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to err<S>8582</S>, and to do<S>6213</S> worse<S>7451</S> than the heathen<S>1471</S>, whom the Lord<S>3068</S> had destroyed<S>8045</S> before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> spake<S>1696</S> to Manasseh<S>4519</S>, and to his people<S>5971</S>: but they would not hearken<S>7181</S>.


text:
Wherefore the Lord<S>3068</S> brought<S>935</S> upon them the captains of<S>8269</S> the host of<S>6635</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, which took<S>3920</S> Manasseh<S>4519</S> among the thorns<S>2336</S>, and bound him<S>631</S> with fetters<S>5178</S>, and carried<S>3212</S> him to Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
And when he was in affliction<S>6887</S>, he besought<S>2470</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>, and humbled<S>3665</S> himself greatly<S>3966</S> before<S>6440</S> the God<S>430</S> of his fathers<S>1</S>,


text:
And prayed<S>6419</S> unto him<S>6279</S>: and he was intreated of him<S>8085</S>, and heard his supplication<S>8467</S>, and brought him again<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> into his kingdom<S>4438</S>. Then Manasseh<S>4519</S> knew<S>3045</S> that the Lord<S>3068</S> he was God<S>430</S>.


text:
Now after this<S>310</S> he built<S>1129</S> a wall<S>2346</S> outside<S>2435</S> the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, on the west side<S>4628</S> of Gihon<S>1521</S>, in the valley<S>5158</S>, even to the entering in<S>935</S> at the fish<S>1709</S> gate<S>8179</S>, and compassed<S>5437</S> about Ophel<S>6077</S>, and raised it up<S>1361</S> a very great height<S>3966</S>, and put<S>7760</S> captains<S>8269</S> of war<S>2428</S> in all the fenced<S>1219</S> cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And he took away<S>5493</S> the strange<S>5236</S> gods<S>430</S>, and the idol<S>5566</S> out of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and all the altars<S>4196</S> that he had built<S>1129</S> in the mount<S>2022</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> them out<S>2351</S> of the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And he repaired<S>1129</S> the altar<S>4196</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and sacrificed<S>2076</S> thereon peace<S>8002</S> offerings<S>2077</S> and thank offerings<S>8426</S>, and commanded<S>559</S> Judah<S>3063</S> to serve<S>5647</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Nevertheless<S>61</S> the people<S>5971</S> did sacrifice<S>2076</S> still in the high places<S>1116</S>, yet unto the Lord<S>3068</S> their God only<S>430</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Manasseh<S>4519</S>, and his prayer<S>8605</S> unto his God<S>430</S>, and the words<S>1697</S> of the seers<S>2374</S> that spake<S>1696</S> to him in the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, behold<S>1697</S>, they are written in the book of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
His prayer<S>8605</S> also<S>6279</S>, and how God was intreated of him<S>2403</S>, and all his sin, and his trespass<S>4604</S>, and the places<S>4725</S> wherein he built<S>1129</S> high places<S>1116</S>, and set up<S>5975</S> groves<S>842</S> and graven images<S>6456</S>, before<S>6440</S> he was humbled<S>3665</S>: behold<S>3789</S>, they are written among the sayings<S>1697</S> of the seers<S>2374</S>.


text:
So Manasseh<S>4519</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and they buried<S>6912</S> him in his own house<S>1004</S>: and Amon<S>526</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
Amon<S>526</S> was two<S>8147</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and reigned<S>4427</S> two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
But he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, as did<S>6213</S> Manasseh<S>4519</S> his father<S>1</S>: for Amon<S>526</S> sacrificed<S>2076</S> unto all the carved images<S>6456</S> which Manasseh<S>4519</S> his father<S>1</S> had made<S>6213</S>, and served them<S>5647</S>;


text:
And humbled<S>3665</S> not himself before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, as Manasseh<S>4519</S> his father<S>1</S> had humbled<S>3665</S> himself<S>526</S>; but Amon trespassed<S>819</S> more and more<S>7235</S>.


text:
And his servants<S>5650</S> conspired<S>7194</S> against him<S>4191</S>, and slew him in his own house<S>1004</S>.


text:
But the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> slew<S>5221</S> all them that had conspired<S>7194</S> against king<S>4428</S> Amon<S>526</S>; and the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> made<S>4427</S> Josiah<S>2977</S> his son<S>1121</S> king in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
Josiah<S>2977</S> was eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> one<S>259</S> and thirty<S>7970</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and walked<S>3212</S> in the ways<S>1870</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>, and declined<S>5493</S> neither to the right hand<S>3225</S>, nor to the left<S>8040</S>.


text:
For in the eighth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4427</S>, while he was yet young<S>5288</S>, he began<S>2490</S> to seek<S>1875</S> after the God<S>430</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>: and in the twelfth<S>8147</S> year<S>8141</S> he began<S>2490</S> to purge<S>2891</S> Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S> from the high places<S>1116</S>, and the groves<S>842</S>, and the carved images<S>6456</S>, and the molten images<S>4541</S>.


text:
And they broke down<S>5422</S> the altars<S>4196</S> of Baalim<S>1168</S> in his presence<S>6440</S>; and the images<S>2553</S>, that were on high above them<S>4605</S>, he cut down<S>1438</S>; and the groves<S>842</S>, and the carved images<S>6456</S>, and the molten images<S>4541</S>, he broke in pieces<S>7665</S>, and made dust<S>1854</S> of them<S>2236</S>, and strewed it upon<S>6440</S> the graves<S>6913</S> of them that had sacrificed unto them<S>2076</S>.


text:
And he burnt<S>8313</S> the bones<S>6106</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> upon their altars<S>4196</S>, and cleansed<S>2891</S> Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And so did he in the cities<S>5892</S> of Manasseh<S>4519</S>, and Ephraim<S>669</S>, and Simeon<S>8095</S>, even unto Naphtali<S>5321</S>, with their mattocks<S>2719</S> round about<S>5439</S>.


text:
And when he had broken down<S>5422</S> the altars<S>4196</S> and the groves<S>842</S>, and had beaten<S>3807</S> the engraved images<S>6456</S> into powder<S>1854</S>, and cut down<S>1438</S> all the idols<S>2553</S> throughout all the land<S>776</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, he returned<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.

Now in the eighteenth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4427</S>, when he had purged<S>2891</S> the land<S>776</S>, and the house<S>1004</S>, he sent<S>7971</S> Shaphan<S>8227</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Azaliah<S>683</S>, and Maaseiah<S>4641</S> the governor<S>8269</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and Joah<S>3098</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joahaz<S>3099</S> the recorder<S>2142</S>, to repair<S>2388</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>.


text:
And when they came<S>935</S> to Hilkiah<S>2518</S> the high<S>1419</S> priest<S>3548</S>, they delivered<S>5414</S> the money<S>3701</S> that was brought<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, which the Levites<S>3881</S> that kept<S>8104</S> the doors<S>5592</S> had gathered<S>622</S> of the hand<S>3027</S> of Manasseh<S>4519</S> and Ephraim<S>669</S>, and of all the remnant<S>7611</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and of all Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>; and they returned<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And they put<S>5414</S> it in the hand<S>3027</S> of the workmen<S>6213</S> that had the oversight<S>6485</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and they gave<S>5414</S> it to the workmen<S>6213</S> that worked<S>6213</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, to repair<S>918</S> and mend<S>2388</S> the house<S>1004</S>:


text:
Even to the artificers<S>2796</S> and builders<S>1129</S> gave<S>5414</S> they it<S>7069</S>, to buy cut<S>4274</S> stone<S>68</S>, and timber<S>6086</S> for couplings<S>4226</S>, and to floor<S>7136</S> the houses<S>1004</S> which the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> had destroyed<S>7843</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> did<S>6213</S> the work<S>4399</S> faithfully<S>530</S>: and the overseers<S>5329</S> of them were Jahath<S>3189</S> and Obadiah<S>5662</S>, the Levites<S>3881</S>, of the sons<S>1121</S> of Merari<S>4847</S>; and Zechariah<S>2148</S> and Meshullam<S>4918</S>, of the sons of the Kohathites<S>6956</S>, to set it forward<S>6485</S>; and other of the Levites<S>3881</S>, all that could skill<S>995</S> of instruments<S>3627</S> of music<S>7892</S>.


text:
Also they were over the bearers of burdens<S>5449</S>, and were overseers<S>5329</S> of all that worked<S>6213</S> the work<S>4399</S> in any manner of service<S>5656</S>: and of the Levites<S>3881</S> there were scribes<S>5608</S>, and officers<S>7860</S>, and porters<S>7778</S>.


text:
And when they brought out<S>3318</S> the money<S>3701</S> that was brought into<S>935</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, Hilkiah<S>2518</S> the priest<S>3548</S> found<S>4672</S> a book<S>5612</S> of the law<S>8451</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> given by<S>3027</S> Moses<S>4872</S>.


text:
And Hilkiah<S>2518</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S> to Shaphan<S>8227</S> the scribe<S>5608</S>, I have found<S>4672</S> the book<S>5612</S> of the law<S>8451</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>. And Hilkiah<S>2518</S> delivered<S>5414</S> the book<S>5612</S> to Shaphan<S>8227</S>.


text:
And Shaphan<S>8227</S> carried<S>935</S> the book<S>5612</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and brought<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S> word<S>1697</S> back<S>7725</S> again<S>559</S>, saying, All that was committed<S>5414</S> to<S>3027</S> your servants<S>5650</S>, they do it<S>6213</S>.


text:
And they have gathered together<S>5413</S> the money<S>3701</S> that was found<S>4672</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and have delivered<S>5414</S> it into the hand<S>3027</S> of the overseers<S>6485</S>, and to the hand<S>3027</S> of the workmen<S>6213</S>.


text:
Then Shaphan<S>8227</S> the scribe<S>5608</S> told<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Hilkiah<S>2518</S> the priest<S>3548</S> has given<S>5414</S> me a book<S>5612</S>. And Shaphan<S>8227</S> read<S>7121</S> it before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>4428</S>, when the king had heard<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of the law<S>8451</S>, that he tore<S>7167</S> his clothes<S>899</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S> Hilkiah<S>2518</S>, and Ahikam<S>296</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphan<S>8227</S>, and Abdon<S>5658</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Micah<S>4318</S>, and Shaphan<S>8227</S> the scribe<S>5608</S>, and Asaiah<S>6222</S> a servant<S>5650</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Go<S>3212</S>, inquire<S>1875</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> for me<S>7604</S>, and for them that are left in Israel<S>3478</S> and in Judah<S>3063</S>, concerning the words<S>1697</S> of the book<S>5612</S> that is found<S>4672</S>: for great<S>1419</S> is the wrath<S>2534</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> that is poured out<S>5413</S> upon us<S>1</S>, because our fathers have not kept<S>8104</S> the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, to do<S>6213</S> after all that is written<S>3789</S> in this book<S>5612</S>.


text:
And Hilkiah<S>2518</S>, and they that the king<S>4428</S> had appointed<S>3212</S>, went to Huldah<S>2468</S> the prophetess<S>5031</S>, the wife<S>802</S> of Shallum<S>7967</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Tikvath<S>8616</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Hasrah<S>2641</S>, keeper<S>8104</S> of the wardrobe<S>899</S>; (now she lived<S>3427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> in the college<S>4932</S>:) and they spoke to her to that effect<S>1696</S>.


text:
And she answered<S>559</S> them<S>559</S>, Thus says the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Tell<S>559</S> you the man<S>376</S> that sent you to me<S>7971</S>,


text:
Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, Behold<S>935</S>, I will bring evil<S>7451</S> upon this place<S>4725</S>, and upon the inhabitants<S>3427</S> there<S>423</S>, even all the curses that are written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> which they have read<S>7121</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>:


text:
Because they have forsaken<S>5800</S> me<S>6999</S>, and have burned incense unto other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, that they might provoke me to anger<S>3707</S> with all the works<S>4639</S> of their hands<S>3027</S>; therefore my wrath<S>2534</S> shall be poured out<S>5413</S> upon this place<S>4725</S>, and shall not be quenched<S>3518</S>.


text:
And as for<S>413</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, who sent<S>7971</S> you to inquire<S>1875</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, so shall you say<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, Thus says the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> concerning the words<S>1697</S> which you have heard<S>8085</S>;


text:
Because your heart<S>3824</S> was tender<S>7401</S>, and you did humble<S>3665</S> yourself before<S>6440</S> God<S>430</S>, when you heard<S>8085</S> his words<S>1697</S> against this place<S>4725</S>, and against the inhabitants<S>3427</S> there<S>3665</S>, and humbled yourself before<S>6440</S> me<S>7167</S>, and did tear your clothes<S>899</S>, and weep<S>1058</S> before<S>6440</S> me<S>8085</S>; I have even heard you also<S>5002</S>, says the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Behold<S>622</S>, I will gather you to your fathers<S>1</S>, and you shall be gathered<S>622</S> to your grave<S>6913</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, neither shall your eyes<S>5869</S> see<S>7200</S> all the evil<S>7451</S> that I will bring<S>935</S> upon this place<S>4725</S>, and upon the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of the same<S>7725</S>. So they brought the king<S>4428</S> word<S>1697</S> again<S>7725</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> and gathered together<S>622</S> all the elders<S>2205</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> went up<S>5927</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and all the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S>, great<S>1419</S> and small<S>6996</S>: and he read<S>7121</S> in their ears<S>241</S> all the words<S>1697</S> of the book<S>5612</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> that was found<S>4672</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> stood<S>5975</S> in his place<S>5977</S>, and made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, to walk<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and to keep<S>8104</S> his commandments<S>4687</S>, and his testimonies<S>5715</S>, and his statutes<S>2706</S>, with all his heart<S>3824</S>, and with all his soul<S>5315</S>, to perform<S>6213</S> the words<S>1697</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> which are written<S>3789</S> in this book<S>5612</S>.


text:
And he caused all that were present<S>4672</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S> to stand<S>5975</S> to it<S>3427</S>. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> did<S>6213</S> according to the covenant<S>1285</S> of God<S>430</S>, the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
And Josiah<S>2977</S> took away<S>5493</S> all the abominations<S>8441</S> out of all the countries<S>776</S> that pertained to the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and made all that were present<S>4672</S> in Israel<S>3478</S> to serve<S>5647</S>, even to serve<S>5647</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>. And all his days<S>3117</S> they departed<S>5493</S> not from following<S>310</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Moreover Josiah<S>2977</S> kept<S>6213</S> a passover<S>6453</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and they killed<S>7819</S> the passover<S>6453</S> on the fourteenth<S>702</S> day of the first<S>7223</S> month<S>2320</S>.


text:
And he set<S>5975</S> the priests<S>3548</S> in their charges<S>4931</S>, and encouraged<S>2388</S> them to the service<S>5656</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>,


text:
And said<S>559</S> unto the Levites<S>3881</S> that taught<S>995</S> all Israel<S>3478</S>, which were holy<S>6918</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, Put<S>5414</S> the holy<S>6944</S> ark<S>727</S> in the house<S>1004</S> which Solomon<S>8010</S> the son<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> did build<S>1129</S>; it shall not be a burden<S>4853</S> upon your shoulders<S>3802</S>: serve<S>5647</S> now the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, and his people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>,


text:
And prepare<S>3559</S> yourselves by the houses<S>1004</S> of your fathers<S>1</S>, after your courses<S>4256</S>, according to the writing<S>3791</S> of David<S>1732</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and according to the writing<S>4385</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> his son<S>1121</S>.


text:
And stand in<S>5975</S> the holy<S>6944</S> place according to the divisions<S>6391</S> of the families<S>1004</S> of the fathers<S>1</S> of your brothers<S>251</S> the people<S>1121</S>, and after the division<S>2515</S> of the families<S>1</S> of the Levites<S>3881</S>.


text:
So kill<S>7819</S> the passover<S>6453</S>, and sanctify<S>6942</S> yourselves<S>3559</S>, and prepare your brothers<S>251</S>, that they may do<S>6213</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>.


text:
And Josiah<S>2977</S> gave<S>7311</S> to the people<S>1121</S>, of the flock<S>6629</S>, lambs<S>3532</S> and kids<S>1121</S>, all for the passover offerings<S>6453</S>, for all that were present<S>4672</S>, to the number<S>4557</S> of thirty<S>7970</S> thousand<S>505</S>, and three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> bullocks<S>1241</S>: these were of the king<S>4428</S>'s substance<S>7399</S>.


text:
And his princes<S>8269</S> gave<S>7311</S> willingly<S>5071</S> unto the people<S>5971</S>, to the priests<S>3548</S>, and to the Levites<S>3881</S>: Hilkiah<S>2518</S> and Zechariah<S>2148</S> and Jehiel<S>3171</S>, rulers<S>5057</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, gave<S>5414</S> unto the priests<S>3548</S> for the passover offerings<S>6453</S> two thousand<S>505</S> and six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> small cattle<S>7969</S>, and three hundred<S>3967</S> oxen<S>1241</S>.


text:
Conaniah<S>3562</S> also<S>8098</S>, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel<S>5417</S>, his brothers<S>251</S>, and Hashabiah<S>2811</S> and Jeiel<S>3273</S> and Jozabad<S>3107</S>, chief<S>8269</S> of the Levites<S>3881</S>, gave<S>7311</S> unto the Levites<S>3881</S> for passover offerings<S>6453</S> five<S>2568</S> thousand<S>505</S> small cattle<S>2568</S>, and five hundred<S>3967</S> oxen<S>1241</S>.


text:
So the service<S>5656</S> was prepared<S>3559</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S> stood<S>5975</S> in their place<S>5977</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S> in their courses<S>4256</S>, according to the king<S>4428</S>'s commandment<S>4687</S>.


text:
And they killed<S>7819</S> the passover<S>6453</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S> sprinkled<S>2236</S> the blood from their hands<S>3027</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S> flayed them<S>6584</S>.


text:
And they removed<S>5493</S> the burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, that they might give<S>5414</S> according to the divisions<S>4653</S> of the families<S>1</S> of the people<S>1121</S>, to offer<S>7126</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, as it is written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>. And so did they with the oxen<S>1241</S>.


text:
And they roasted<S>1310</S> the passover<S>6453</S> with fire<S>784</S> according to the ordinance<S>4941</S>: but the other holy<S>6944</S> offerings boiled<S>1310</S> they in pots<S>5518</S>, and in caldrons<S>1731</S>, and in pans<S>6745</S>, and divided them speedily<S>7323</S> among all the people<S>1121</S>.


text:
And afterward<S>310</S> they made ready<S>3559</S> for themselves<S>3548</S>, and for the priests: because the priests<S>3548</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S> were busied in offering<S>5927</S> of burnt offerings<S>5930</S> and the fat<S>2459</S> until night<S>3915</S>; therefore the Levites<S>3881</S> prepared<S>3559</S> for themselves<S>3548</S>, and for the priests the sons<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S>.


text:
And the singers<S>7891</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Asaph<S>623</S> were in their place<S>4612</S>, according to the commandment<S>4687</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and Asaph<S>623</S>, and Heman<S>1968</S>, and Jeduthun<S>3038</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s seer<S>2374</S>; and the porters<S>7778</S> waited at every gate<S>8179</S>; they might not depart<S>5493</S> from their service<S>5656</S>; for their brothers<S>251</S> the Levites<S>3881</S> prepared for them<S>3559</S>.


text:
So all the service<S>5656</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was prepared<S>3559</S> the same day<S>3117</S>, to keep<S>6213</S> the passover<S>6453</S>, and to offer<S>5927</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S> upon the altar<S>4196</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, according to the commandment<S>4687</S> of king<S>4428</S> Josiah<S>2977</S>.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that were present<S>4672</S> kept<S>6213</S> the passover<S>6453</S> at that time<S>6256</S>, and the feast<S>2282</S> of unleavened bread<S>4682</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>.

And there was no passover<S>6453</S> like<S>3644</S> to that kept<S>6213</S> in Israel<S>3478</S> from the days<S>3117</S> of Samuel<S>8050</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>; neither did<S>6213</S> all the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> keep<S>6213</S> such a passover<S>6453</S> as Josiah<S>2977</S> kept<S>6213</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S>, and all Judah<S>3063</S> and Israel<S>3478</S> that were present<S>4672</S>, and the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
In the eighteenth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of the reign<S>4438</S> of Josiah<S>2977</S> was this passover<S>6453</S> kept<S>6213</S>.


text:
After<S>310</S> all this<S>2977</S>, when Josiah had prepared<S>3559</S> the temple<S>1004</S>, Necho<S>5224</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> came up<S>5927</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against Carchemish<S>3751</S> by Euphrates<S>6578</S>: and Josiah<S>2977</S> went out<S>3318</S> against him<S>7125</S>.


text:
But he sent<S>7971</S> ambassadors<S>4397</S> to him<S>559</S>, saying, What have I to do with you<S>4428</S>, you king of Judah<S>3063</S>? I come not against you this day<S>3117</S>, but against the house<S>1004</S> with which I have war<S>4421</S>: for God<S>430</S> commanded<S>559</S> me to make hurry<S>926</S>: desist<S>2308</S> from meddling with God<S>430</S>, who is with me<S>7843</S>, that he destroy you not.


text:
Nevertheless Josiah<S>2977</S> would not turn<S>5437</S> his face<S>6440</S> from him<S>2664</S>, but disguised himself<S>3898</S>, that he might fight with him<S>8085</S>, and listened not unto the words<S>1697</S> of Necho<S>5224</S> from the mouth<S>6310</S> of God<S>430</S>, and came<S>935</S> to fight<S>3898</S> in the valley<S>1237</S> of Megiddo<S>4023</S>.


text:
And the archers<S>3384</S> shot<S>3384</S> at king<S>4428</S> Josiah<S>2977</S>; and the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to his servants<S>5650</S>, Have me away<S>5674</S>; for I am severely<S>3966</S> wounded<S>2470</S>.


text:
His servants<S>5650</S> therefore took<S>5674</S> him out of that chariot<S>4818</S>, and put<S>7392</S> him in the second<S>4932</S> chariot<S>7393</S> that he had<S>3212</S>; and they brought him to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and he died<S>4191</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in one of the tombs<S>6913</S> of his fathers<S>1</S>. And all Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S> mourned<S>56</S> for Josiah<S>2977</S>.


text:
And Jeremiah<S>3414</S> lamented<S>6969</S> for Josiah<S>2977</S>: and all the singing men<S>7891</S> and the singing women<S>7891</S> spoke<S>559</S> of Josiah<S>2977</S> in their lamentations<S>7015</S> to this day<S>3117</S>, and made<S>5414</S> them an ordinance<S>2706</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>: and<S>3789</S>, behold, they are written in the lamentations<S>7015</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Josiah<S>2977</S>, and his goodness<S>2617</S>, according to that which was written<S>3789</S> in the law<S>8451</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>,


text:
And his deeds<S>1697</S>, first<S>7223</S> and last<S>314</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Then the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> took<S>3947</S> Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Josiah<S>2977</S>, and made him king<S>4427</S> in his father<S>1</S>'s place in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Jehoahaz<S>3099</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> and three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> three<S>7969</S> months<S>2320</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> deposed<S>5493</S> him at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and fined<S>6064</S> the land<S>776</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S> and a talent<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> made Eliakim<S>471</S> his brother<S>251</S> king<S>4427</S> over Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and turned<S>5437</S> his name<S>8034</S> to Jehoiakim<S>3079</S>. And Necho<S>5224</S> took<S>3947</S> Jehoahaz<S>3099</S> his brother<S>251</S>, and carried<S>935</S> him to Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
Jehoiakim<S>3079</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> and five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> eleven<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>.


text:
Against him came up<S>5927</S> Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>, and bound<S>631</S> him in fetters<S>5178</S>, to carry<S>3212</S> him to Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> also carried<S>935</S> of the vessels<S>3627</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> to Babylon<S>894</S>, and put<S>5414</S> them in his temple<S>1964</S> at Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jehoiakim<S>3079</S>, and his abominations<S>8441</S> which he did<S>6213</S>, and that which was found<S>4672</S> in him<S>3789</S>, behold, they are written in the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>: and Jehoiachin<S>3078</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Jehoiachin<S>3078</S> was eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> three<S>7969</S> months<S>2320</S> and ten<S>6235</S> days<S>3117</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And when the year<S>8141</S> was expired<S>8666</S>, king<S>4428</S> Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> sent<S>7971</S>, and brought<S>935</S> him to Babylon<S>894</S>, with the good<S>2532</S> vessels<S>3627</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and made Zedekiah<S>6667</S> his brother<S>251</S> king<S>4427</S> over Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Zedekiah<S>6667</S> was one<S>259</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and reigned<S>4427</S> eleven<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>, and humbled<S>3665</S> not himself before<S>6440</S> Jeremiah<S>3414</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> speaking from the mouth<S>6310</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And he also rebelled<S>4775</S> against king<S>4428</S> Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S>, who had made him swear<S>7650</S> by God<S>430</S>: but he stiffened<S>7185</S> his neck<S>6203</S>, and hardened<S>553</S> his heart<S>3824</S> from turning<S>7725</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Moreover all the chief<S>8269</S> of the priests<S>3548</S>, and the people<S>5971</S>, transgressed<S>4603</S> very<S>4604</S> much<S>7235</S> after all the abominations<S>8441</S> of the heathen<S>1471</S>; and polluted<S>2930</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> which he had hallowed<S>6942</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S> sent<S>7971</S> to them by<S>3027</S> his messengers<S>4397</S>, rising up some time<S>7925</S>, and sending<S>7971</S>; because he had compassion<S>2550</S> on his people<S>5971</S>, and on his living place<S>4583</S>:


text:
But they mocked<S>3931</S> the messengers<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S>, and despised<S>959</S> his words<S>1697</S>, and misused<S>8591</S> his prophets<S>5030</S>, until the wrath<S>2534</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> arose<S>5927</S> against his people<S>5971</S>, until there was no remedy<S>4832</S>.


text:
Therefore he brought<S>5927</S> upon them the king<S>4428</S> of the Chaldees<S>3778</S>, who killed<S>2026</S> their young men<S>970</S> with the sword<S>2719</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of their sanctuary<S>4720</S>, and had no compassion<S>2550</S> upon young man<S>970</S> or maiden<S>1330</S>, old man<S>2205</S>, or him that stooped for age<S>3486</S>: he gave<S>5414</S> them all into his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And all the vessels<S>3627</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, great<S>1419</S> and small<S>6996</S>, and the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>, and of his princes<S>8269</S>; all these he brought<S>935</S> to Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
And they burnt<S>8313</S> the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, and broke down<S>5422</S> the wall<S>2346</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and burnt<S>8313</S> all the palaces<S>759</S> there with fire<S>784</S>, and destroyed<S>7843</S> all the good<S>4261</S> vessels there<S>3627</S>.


text:
And them that had escaped<S>7611</S> from the sword<S>2719</S> carried he away<S>1540</S> to Babylon<S>894</S>; where they were servants<S>5650</S> to him and his sons<S>1121</S> until the reign<S>4427</S> of the kingdom<S>4438</S> of Persia<S>6539</S>:


text:
To fulfill<S>4390</S> the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> by the mouth<S>6310</S> of Jeremiah<S>3414</S>, until the land<S>776</S> had enjoyed<S>7521</S> her sabbaths<S>7676</S>: for as long as<S>3117</S> she lay desolate<S>8074</S> she kept sabbath<S>7673</S>, to fulfill<S>4390</S> sixty and ten<S>7657</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
Now in the first<S>259</S> year<S>8141</S> of Cyrus<S>3566</S> king<S>4428</S> of Persia<S>6539</S>, that the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> spoken by the mouth<S>6310</S> of Jeremiah<S>3414</S> might be accomplished<S>3615</S>, the Lord<S>3068</S> stirred up<S>5782</S> the spirit<S>7307</S> of Cyrus<S>3566</S> king<S>4428</S> of Persia<S>6539</S>, that he made a proclamation<S>5674</S> throughout all his kingdom<S>4438</S>, and put it also in writing<S>4385</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Thus says<S>559</S> Cyrus<S>3566</S> king<S>4428</S> of Persia<S>6539</S>, All the kingdoms<S>4467</S> of the earth<S>776</S> has the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of heaven<S>8064</S> given<S>5414</S> me<S>6485</S>; and he has commanded me to build<S>1129</S> him an house<S>1004</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, which is in Judah<S>3063</S>. Who is there among you of all his people<S>5971</S>? The Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S> be with him<S>5927</S>, and let him go up.


text:
Then he made<S>6213</S> an altar<S>4196</S> of brass<S>5178</S>, twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S> the length<S>753</S> there<S>6242</S>, and twenty cubits<S>520</S> the breadth<S>7341</S> there<S>6235</S>, and ten cubits<S>520</S> the height there<S>6967</S>.


text:
Also he made<S>6213</S> a molten<S>3332</S> sea<S>3220</S> of ten<S>6235</S> cubits<S>520</S> from brim<S>8193</S> to brim<S>8193</S>, round<S>5696</S> in compass<S>5439</S>, and five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S> the height<S>6967</S> there<S>6957</S>; and a line of thirty<S>7970</S> cubits<S>520</S> did compass<S>5437</S> it round about<S>5439</S>.


text:
And under it was the likeness<S>1823</S> of oxen<S>1241</S>, which did compass<S>5437</S> it round about<S>5439</S>: ten<S>6235</S> in a cubit<S>520</S>, compassing<S>5362</S> the sea<S>3220</S> round about<S>5439</S>. Two<S>8147</S> rows<S>2905</S> of oxen<S>1241</S> were cast<S>3332</S>, when it was cast<S>4166</S>.


text:
And the thickness<S>5672</S> of it was a handbreadth<S>2947</S>, and the brim<S>8193</S> of it like the work<S>4639</S> of the brim<S>8193</S> of a cup<S>3563</S>, with flowers<S>6525</S> of lilies<S>7799</S>; and it received<S>2388</S> and held<S>3557</S> three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> baths<S>1324</S>.


text:
He made<S>6213</S> also ten<S>6235</S> basins<S>3595</S>, and put<S>5414</S> five<S>2568</S> on the right hand<S>3225</S>, and five<S>2568</S> on the left<S>8040</S>, to wash<S>7364</S> in them<S>4639</S>: such things as they offered for the burnt offering<S>5930</S> they washed<S>1740</S> in them<S>3220</S>; but the sea was for the priests<S>3548</S> to wash in<S>7364</S>.


text:
And he made<S>6213</S> ten<S>6235</S> candlesticks<S>4501</S> of gold<S>2091</S> according to their form<S>4941</S>, and set<S>5414</S> them in the temple<S>1964</S>, five<S>2568</S> on the right hand<S>3225</S>, and five<S>2568</S> on the left<S>8040</S>.


text:
He made<S>6213</S> also ten<S>6235</S> tablets<S>7979</S>, and placed<S>3240</S> them in the temple<S>1964</S>, five<S>2568</S> on the right side<S>3225</S>, and five<S>2568</S> on the left<S>8040</S>. And he made<S>6213</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> basins<S>4219</S> of gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
Furthermore he made<S>6213</S> the court<S>2691</S> of the priests<S>3548</S>, and the great<S>1419</S> court<S>5835</S>, and doors<S>1817</S> for the court<S>5835</S>, and overlaid<S>6823</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of them with brass<S>5178</S>.


text:
And he set<S>5414</S> the sea<S>3220</S> on the right<S>3233</S> side<S>3802</S> of the east end<S>6924</S>, over against<S>4136</S> the south<S>5045</S>.


text:
And Huram<S>2361</S> made<S>6213</S> the pots<S>5518</S>, and the shovels<S>3257</S>, and the basins<S>4219</S>. And Huram<S>2361</S> finished<S>3615</S> the work<S>4399</S> that he was to make<S>6213</S> for king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>;


text:
the two<S>8147</S> pillars<S>5982</S>, and the pommels<S>1543</S>, and the capitals<S>3805</S> which were on the top<S>7218</S> of the two pillars<S>5982</S>, and the two<S>8147</S> wreaths<S>7639</S> to cover<S>3680</S> the two<S>8147</S> pommels<S>1543</S> of the capitals<S>3805</S> which were on the top<S>7218</S> of the pillars<S>5982</S>;


text:
And four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> pomegranates<S>7416</S> on the two<S>8147</S> wreaths<S>7639</S>; two<S>8147</S> rows<S>2905</S> of pomegranates<S>7416</S> on each<S>259</S> wreath<S>7639</S>, to cover<S>3680</S> the two<S>8147</S> pommels<S>1543</S> of the capitals<S>3805</S> which were upon<S>6440</S> the pillars<S>5982</S>.


text:
He made<S>6213</S> also bases<S>4350</S>, and basins<S>3595</S> made<S>6213</S> he upon the bases<S>4350</S>;


text:
The pots<S>5518</S> also<S>3257</S>, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks<S>4207</S>, and all their instruments<S>3627</S>, did Huram<S>2361</S> his father<S>1</S> make<S>6213</S> to king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> of bright<S>4838</S> brass<S>5178</S>.


text:
In the plain<S>3603</S> of Jordan<S>3383</S> did the king<S>4428</S> cast<S>3332</S> them<S>5645</S>, in the clay ground<S>127</S> between Succoth<S>5523</S> and Zeredathah<S>6868</S>.


text:
Thus Solomon<S>8010</S> made<S>6213</S> all these vessels<S>3627</S> in great<S>3966</S> abundance<S>7230</S>: for the weight<S>4948</S> of the brass<S>5178</S> could not be found out<S>2713</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> made<S>6213</S> all the vessels<S>3627</S> that were for the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, the golden<S>2091</S> altar<S>4196</S> also<S>7979</S>, and the tablets whereon the showbread was set<S>3899</S>;

And the candlesticks<S>4501</S> with their lamps<S>5216</S>, that they should burn<S>1197</S> after the manner<S>4941</S> before<S>6440</S> the oracle<S>1687</S>, of pure<S>5462</S> gold<S>2091</S>;


text:
And the flowers<S>6525</S>, and the lamps<S>5216</S>, and the tongs<S>4457</S>, made he of gold<S>2091</S>, and that perfect<S>4357</S> gold<S>2091</S>;


text:
And the snuffers<S>4212</S>, and the basins<S>4219</S>, and the spoons<S>3709</S>, and the censers<S>4289</S>, of pure<S>5462</S> gold<S>2091</S>: and the entry<S>6607</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, the inner<S>6442</S> doors<S>1817</S> there for the most<S>6944</S> holy<S>6944</S> place<S>1817</S>, and the doors of the house<S>1004</S> of the temple<S>1964</S>, were of gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
Thus all the work<S>4399</S> that Solomon<S>8010</S> made<S>6213</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was finished<S>7999</S>: and Solomon<S>8010</S> brought<S>935</S> in all the things<S>6944</S> that David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S> had dedicated<S>6944</S>; and the silver<S>3701</S>, and the gold<S>2091</S>, and all the instruments<S>3627</S>, put<S>5414</S> he among the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
Then Solomon<S>8010</S> assembled<S>6950</S> the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and all the heads<S>7218</S> of the tribes<S>4294</S>, the chief<S>5387</S> of the fathers<S>1</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, unto Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, to bring up<S>5927</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> out of the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, which is Zion<S>6726</S>.


text:
Why all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> assembled<S>6950</S> themselves unto the king<S>4428</S> in the feast<S>2282</S> which was in the seventh<S>7637</S> month<S>2320</S>.


text:
And all the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came<S>935</S>; and the Levites<S>3881</S> took up<S>5375</S> the ark<S>727</S>.


text:
And they brought up<S>5927</S> the ark<S>727</S>, and the tabernacle<S>168</S> of the congregation<S>4150</S>, and all the holy<S>6944</S> vessels<S>3627</S> that were in the tabernacle<S>168</S>, these did the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S> bring up<S>5927</S>.


text:
Also king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>, and all the congregation<S>5712</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that were assembled<S>3259</S> unto him before<S>6440</S> the ark<S>727</S>, sacrificed<S>2076</S> sheep<S>6629</S> and oxen<S>1241</S>, which could not be told<S>5608</S> nor numbered<S>4487</S> for multitude<S>7230</S>.


text:
And the priests<S>3548</S> brought in<S>935</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> unto his place<S>4725</S>, to the oracle<S>1687</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, into the most<S>6944</S> holy<S>6944</S> place<S>3671</S>, even under the wings of the cherubims<S>3742</S>:


text:
For the cherubims<S>3742</S> spread forth<S>6566</S> their wings<S>3671</S> over the place<S>4725</S> of the ark<S>727</S>, and the cherubims<S>3742</S> covered<S>3680</S> the ark<S>727</S> and the poles<S>905</S> there above<S>4605</S>.


text:
And they drew out<S>748</S> the poles<S>905</S> of the ark<S>7218</S>, that the ends of the poles<S>905</S> were seen<S>7200</S> from the ark<S>727</S> before<S>6440</S> the oracle<S>1687</S>; but they were not seen<S>7200</S> outside<S>2351</S>. And there it is unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
There was nothing in the ark<S>727</S> except the two<S>8147</S> tablets<S>3871</S> which Moses<S>4872</S> put<S>5414</S> in it at Horeb<S>2722</S>, when the Lord<S>3068</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant with the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, when they came out<S>3318</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3548</S>, when the priests were come out<S>3318</S> of the holy<S>6944</S> place<S>3548</S>: (for all the priests that were present<S>4672</S> were sanctified<S>6942</S>, and did not then wait<S>8104</S> by course<S>4256</S>:


text:
Also the Levites<S>3881</S> which were the singers<S>7891</S>, all of them of Asaph<S>623</S>, of Heman<S>1968</S>, of Jeduthun<S>3038</S>, with their sons<S>1121</S> and their brothers<S>251</S>, being arrayed<S>3847</S> in white linen<S>948</S>, having cymbals<S>4700</S> and psalteries<S>5035</S> and harps<S>3658</S>, stood<S>5975</S> at the east end<S>4217</S> of the altar<S>4196</S>, and with them a hundred<S>3967</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> priests<S>3548</S> sounding<S>2690</S> with trumpets<S>2689</S>:)


text:
It came even to pass<S>2690</S>, as the trumpeters and singers<S>7891</S> were as one<S>259</S>, to make one<S>259</S> sound<S>6963</S> to be heard<S>8085</S> in praising<S>1984</S> and thanking<S>3034</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>; and when they lifted up<S>7311</S> their voice<S>6963</S> with the trumpets<S>2689</S> and cymbals<S>4700</S> and instruments<S>3627</S> of music<S>7892</S>, and praised<S>1984</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, saying<S>2896</S>, For he is good; for his mercy<S>2617</S> endures for ever<S>5769</S>: that then the house<S>1004</S> was filled<S>4390</S> with a cloud<S>6051</S>, even the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>;


text:
So that the priests<S>3548</S> could<S>3201</S> not stand<S>5975</S> to minister<S>8334</S> by reason<S>6440</S> of the cloud<S>6051</S>: for the glory<S>3519</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> had filled<S>4390</S> the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>, The Lord<S>3068</S> has said<S>559</S> that he would live<S>7931</S> in the thick darkness<S>6205</S>.


text:
But I have built<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S> of habitation<S>2073</S> for you<S>4349</S>, and a place for your living<S>3427</S> for ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> turned<S>5437</S> his face<S>6440</S>, and blessed<S>1288</S> the whole congregation<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: and all the congregation<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> stood<S>5975</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> be the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who has with his hands<S>3027</S> fulfilled<S>4390</S> that which he spoke<S>1696</S> with his mouth<S>6310</S> to my father<S>1</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Since the day<S>3117</S> that I brought forth<S>3318</S> my people<S>5971</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> I chose<S>977</S> no city<S>5892</S> among all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to build<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S> in<S>8034</S>, that my name might be there<S>977</S>; neither chose I any man<S>376</S> to be a ruler<S>5057</S> over my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>:


text:
But I have chosen<S>977</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, that my name<S>8034</S> might be there<S>977</S>; and have chosen David<S>1732</S> to be over my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Now it was in the heart<S>3824</S> of David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> to build<S>1129</S> an house<S>1004</S> for the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
But the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, Forasmuch as it was in your heart<S>3824</S> to build<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S> for my name<S>8034</S>, you did well<S>2895</S> in that it was in your heart<S>3824</S>:


text:
Nevertheless<S>7535</S> you shall not build<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S>; but your son<S>1121</S> which shall come forth<S>3318</S> out of your body<S>2504</S>, he shall build<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> for my name<S>8034</S>.


text:
The Lord<S>3068</S> therefore has performed<S>6965</S> his word<S>1697</S> that he has spoken<S>1696</S>: for I am risen up<S>6965</S> in the room of David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, and am set<S>3427</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, as the Lord<S>3068</S> promised<S>1696</S>, and have built<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> for the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And in it<S>8033</S> have I put<S>7760</S> the ark<S>727</S>, where is the covenant<S>1285</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, that he made<S>3772</S> with the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And he stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> the altar<S>4196</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> in the presence of all the congregation<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and spread forth<S>6566</S> his hands<S>3709</S>:


text:
For Solomon<S>8010</S> had made<S>6213</S> a bronze<S>5178</S> scaffold<S>3595</S>, of five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S> long<S>753</S>, and five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S> broad<S>7341</S>, and three<S>7969</S> cubits<S>520</S> high<S>6967</S>, and had set<S>5414</S> it in the middle<S>8432</S> of the court<S>5835</S>: and upon it he stood<S>5975</S>, and kneeled down<S>1288</S> upon his knees<S>1290</S> before all the congregation<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and spread forth<S>6566</S> his hands<S>3709</S> toward heaven<S>8064</S>,


text:
And said<S>559</S>, O Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, there is no God<S>430</S> like you in the heaven<S>8064</S>, nor in the earth<S>776</S>; which keep<S>8104</S> covenant<S>1285</S>, and show mercy<S>2617</S> unto your servants<S>5650</S>, that walk<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> you with all their hearts<S>3820</S>:


text:
You which have kept<S>8104</S> with your servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> that which you have promised<S>1696</S> him<S>1696</S>; and spoke with your mouth<S>6310</S>, and have fulfilled<S>4390</S> it with your hand<S>3027</S>, as it is this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>3068</S>, O Lord God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, keep<S>8104</S> with your servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> that which you have promised<S>1696</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, There shall not fail<S>3772</S> you a man<S>376</S> in my sight<S>6440</S> to sit<S>3427</S> upon the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; yet so<S>7535</S> that your sons<S>1121</S> take care<S>8104</S> to their way<S>1870</S> to walk<S>3212</S> in my law<S>8451</S>, as you have walked<S>1980</S> before me<S>6440</S>.


text:
Now then<S>3068</S>, O Lord God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, let your word<S>1697</S> be verified<S>539</S>, which you have spoken<S>1696</S> unto your servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
But will God<S>430</S> in very deed<S>552</S> live<S>3427</S> with men<S>120</S> on the earth<S>776</S>? behold<S>8064</S>, heaven and the heaven<S>8064</S> of heavens<S>8064</S> cannot contain<S>3557</S> you<S>1004</S>; how much less this house which I have built<S>1129</S>!


text:
Have respect<S>6437</S> therefore to the prayer<S>8605</S> of your servant<S>5650</S>, and to his supplication<S>8467</S>, O Lord<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S>, to listen<S>8085</S> unto the cry<S>7440</S> and the prayer<S>8605</S> which your servant<S>5650</S> prays<S>6419</S> before you<S>6440</S>:


text:
That your eyes<S>5869</S> may be open<S>6605</S> upon this house<S>1004</S> day<S>3119</S> and night<S>3915</S>, upon the place<S>4725</S> whereof you have said<S>559</S> that you would put<S>7760</S> your name<S>8034</S> there<S>8085</S>; to listen unto the prayer<S>8605</S> which your servant<S>5650</S> prays<S>6419</S> toward this place<S>4725</S>.


text:
Listen<S>8085</S> therefore unto the supplications<S>8469</S> of your servant<S>5650</S>, and of your people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, which they shall make<S>6419</S> toward this place<S>4725</S>: hear<S>8085</S> you from your living<S>3427</S> place<S>4725</S>, even from heaven<S>8064</S>; and when you hear<S>8085</S>, forgive<S>5545</S>.


text:
If a man<S>376</S> sin<S>2398</S> against his neighbor<S>7453</S>, and an oath<S>423</S> be laid<S>5375</S> upon him to make him swear<S>422</S>, and the oath<S>423</S> come<S>935</S> before<S>6440</S> your altar<S>4196</S> in this house<S>1004</S>;


text:
Then hear<S>8085</S> you from heaven<S>8064</S>, and do<S>6213</S>, and judge<S>8199</S> your servants<S>5650</S>, by requiting<S>7725</S> the wicked<S>7563</S>, by recompensing<S>5414</S> his way<S>1870</S> upon his own head<S>7218</S>; and by justifying<S>6663</S> the righteous<S>6662</S>, by giving<S>5414</S> him according to his righteousness<S>6666</S>.


text:
And if your people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S> be put to the worse<S>5062</S> before<S>6440</S> the enemy<S>341</S>, because they have sinned<S>2398</S> against you<S>7725</S>; and shall return and confess<S>3034</S> your name<S>8034</S>, and pray<S>6419</S> and make supplication<S>2603</S> before<S>6440</S> you in this house<S>1004</S>;


text:
Then hear<S>8085</S> you from the heavens<S>8064</S>, and forgive<S>5545</S> the sin<S>2403</S> of your people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, and bring them again<S>7725</S> unto the land<S>127</S> which you gave<S>5414</S> to them and to their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
When the heaven<S>8064</S> is shut up<S>6113</S>, and there is no rain<S>4306</S>, because they have sinned<S>2398</S> against you<S>6419</S>; yet if they pray toward this place<S>4725</S>, and confess<S>3034</S> your name<S>8034</S>, and turn<S>7725</S> from their sin<S>2403</S>, when you do afflict them<S>6031</S>;


text:
Then hear<S>8085</S> you from heaven<S>8064</S>, and forgive<S>5545</S> the sin<S>2403</S> of your servants<S>5650</S>, and of your people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, when you have taught<S>3384</S> them the good<S>2896</S> way<S>1870</S>, where they should walk<S>3212</S>; and send<S>5414</S> rain<S>4306</S> upon your land<S>776</S>, which you have given<S>5414</S> unto your people<S>5971</S> for an inheritance<S>5159</S>.


text:
If there be famine<S>7458</S> in the land<S>776</S>, if there be pestilence<S>1698</S>, if there be blight<S>7711</S>, or mildew<S>3420</S>, locusts<S>697</S>, or caterpillers<S>2625</S>; if their enemies<S>341</S> besiege<S>6887</S> them in the cities<S>8179</S> of their land<S>776</S>; whatever plague<S>5061</S> or whatever sickness there be<S>4245</S>:


text:
Then whatever prayer<S>8605</S> or whatever supplication<S>8467</S> shall be made of any man<S>120</S>, or of all your people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, when every one<S>376</S> shall know<S>3045</S> his own plague<S>5061</S> and his own grief<S>4341</S>, and shall spread forth<S>6566</S> his hands<S>3709</S> in this house<S>1004</S>:

Then hear<S>8085</S> you from heaven<S>8064</S> your living<S>3427</S> place<S>4349</S>, and forgive<S>5545</S>, and render<S>5414</S> unto every man<S>376</S> according unto all his ways<S>1870</S>, whose heart<S>3824</S> you know<S>3045</S>; (for you only know<S>3045</S> the hearts<S>3824</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of men<S>120</S>:)

That they may fear<S>3372</S> you<S>3212</S>, to walk in your ways<S>1870</S>, so long as<S>3117</S> they live<S>2416</S> in the land<S>127</S> which you gave<S>5414</S> unto our fathers<S>1</S>.

Moreover concerning the stranger<S>5237</S>, which is not of your people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, but is come<S>935</S> from a far<S>7350</S> country<S>776</S> for your great<S>1419</S> name<S>8034</S>'s sake<S>2389</S>, and your mighty hand<S>3027</S>, and your stretched out<S>5186</S> arm<S>2220</S>; if they come<S>935</S> and pray<S>6419</S> in this house<S>1004</S>;

Then hear<S>8085</S> you from the heavens<S>8064</S>, even from your living<S>3427</S> place<S>4349</S>, and do<S>6213</S> according to all that the stranger<S>5237</S> calls<S>7121</S> to you for<S>5971</S>; that all people of the earth<S>776</S> may know<S>3045</S> your name<S>8034</S>, and fear<S>3372</S> you<S>5971</S>, as does your people Israel<S>3478</S>, and may know<S>3045</S> that this house<S>1004</S> which I have built<S>1129</S> is called<S>7121</S> by your name<S>8034</S>.


text:
If your people<S>5971</S> go out<S>3318</S> to war<S>4421</S> against their enemies<S>341</S> by the way<S>1870</S> that you shall send<S>7971</S> them<S>6419</S>, and they pray unto you toward<S>1870</S> this city<S>5892</S> which you have chosen<S>977</S>, and the house<S>1004</S> which I have built<S>1129</S> for your name<S>8034</S>;


text:
Then hear<S>8085</S> you from the heavens<S>8064</S> their prayer<S>8605</S> and their supplication<S>8467</S>, and maintain<S>6213</S> their cause<S>4941</S>.


text:
If they sin<S>2398</S> against you<S>120</S>, (for there is no man which sins<S>2398</S> not<S>599</S>,) and you are angry with them<S>5414</S>, and deliver them over before<S>6440</S> their enemies<S>341</S>, and they carry them away<S>7617</S> captives<S>7617</S> unto a land<S>776</S> far off<S>7350</S> or near<S>7138</S>;


text:
Yet if they repent<S>7725</S> themselves in the land<S>776</S> where they are carried captive<S>7617</S>, and turn<S>7725</S> and pray<S>2603</S> unto you in the land<S>776</S> of their captivity<S>7628</S>, saying<S>559</S>, We have sinned<S>2398</S>, we have done amiss<S>5753</S>, and have dealt wickedly<S>7561</S>;


text:
If they return<S>7725</S> to you with all their heart<S>3820</S> and with all their soul<S>5315</S> in the land<S>776</S> of their captivity<S>7628</S>, where they have carried them captives<S>7617</S>, and pray<S>6419</S> toward<S>1870</S> their land<S>776</S>, which you gave<S>5414</S> unto their fathers<S>1</S>, and toward the city<S>5892</S> which you have chosen<S>977</S>, and toward the house<S>1004</S> which I have built<S>1129</S> for your name<S>8034</S>:


text:
Then hear<S>8085</S> you from the heavens<S>8064</S>, even from your living<S>3427</S> place<S>4349</S>, their prayer<S>8605</S> and their supplications<S>8467</S>, and maintain<S>6213</S> their cause<S>4941</S>, and forgive<S>5545</S> your people<S>5971</S> which have sinned against you<S>2398</S>.


text:
Now<S>430</S>, my God, let<S>5869</S>, I beg you, your eyes be open<S>6605</S>, and let your ears<S>241</S> be attentive<S>7183</S> unto the prayer<S>8605</S> that is made in this place<S>4725</S>.


text:
Now therefore arise<S>6965</S>, O Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S>, into your resting<S>5118</S> place<S>727</S>, you, and the ark of your strength<S>5797</S>: let your priests<S>3548</S>, O Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S>, be clothed<S>3847</S> with salvation<S>8668</S>, and let your saints<S>2623</S> rejoice<S>8055</S> in goodness<S>2896</S>.


text:
O Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S>, turn not away<S>7725</S> the face<S>6440</S> of your anointed<S>4899</S>: remember<S>2142</S> the mercies<S>2617</S> of David<S>1732</S> your servant<S>5650</S>.


text:
Now when Solomon<S>8010</S> had made an end<S>3615</S> of praying<S>6419</S>, the fire<S>784</S> came down<S>3381</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, and consumed<S>398</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S> and the sacrifices<S>2077</S>; and the glory<S>3519</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> filled<S>4390</S> the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And the priests<S>3548</S> could<S>3201</S> not enter<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, because the glory<S>3519</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> had filled<S>4390</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And when all the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> saw<S>7200</S> how the fire<S>784</S> came down<S>3381</S>, and the glory<S>3519</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> upon the house<S>1004</S>, they bowed<S>3766</S> themselves with their faces<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S> upon the pavement<S>7531</S>, and worshiped<S>7812</S>, and praised<S>3034</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, saying<S>2896</S>, For he is good; for his mercy<S>2617</S> endures for ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> offered<S>2076</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> offered<S>2076</S> a sacrifice<S>2077</S> of twenty<S>6242</S> and two<S>8147</S> thousand<S>505</S> oxen<S>1241</S>, and an hundred<S>3967</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>: so the king<S>4428</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> dedicated<S>2596</S> the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
And the priests<S>3548</S> waited<S>5975</S> on their offices<S>4931</S>: the Levites<S>3881</S> also with instruments<S>3627</S> of music<S>7892</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, which David<S>1732</S> the king<S>4428</S> had made<S>6213</S> to praise<S>3034</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, because his mercy<S>2617</S> endures for ever<S>5769</S>, when David<S>1732</S> praised<S>1984</S> by their ministry<S>3027</S>; and the priests<S>3548</S> sounded trumpets<S>2690</S> before them<S>3478</S>, and all Israel stood<S>5975</S>.


text:
Moreover Solomon<S>8010</S> hallowed<S>6942</S> the middle<S>8432</S> of the court<S>2691</S> that was before<S>6440</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: for there he offered<S>6213</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, and the fat<S>2459</S> of the peace offerings<S>8002</S>, because the bronze<S>5178</S> altar<S>4196</S> which Solomon<S>8010</S> had made<S>6213</S> was not able<S>3201</S> to receive<S>3557</S> the burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, and the food offerings<S>4503</S>, and the fat<S>2459</S>.


text:
Also at the same time<S>6256</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> kept<S>6213</S> the feast<S>2282</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>, and all Israel<S>3478</S> with him<S>3966</S>, a very great<S>1419</S> congregation<S>6951</S>, from the entering in<S>935</S> of Hamath<S>2574</S> unto the river<S>5158</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
And in the eighth<S>8066</S> day<S>3117</S> they made<S>6213</S> a solemn assembly<S>6116</S>: for they kept<S>6213</S> the dedication<S>2598</S> of the altar<S>4196</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>, and the feast<S>2282</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And on the three<S>7969</S> and twentieth<S>6242</S> day<S>3117</S> of the seventh<S>7637</S> month<S>2320</S> he sent<S>7971</S> the people<S>5971</S> away<S>7971</S> into their tents<S>168</S>, glad<S>8056</S> and merry<S>2896</S> in heart<S>3820</S> for the goodness<S>2896</S> that the Lord<S>3068</S> had showed<S>6213</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, and to Solomon<S>8010</S>, and to Israel<S>3478</S> his people<S>5971</S>.


text:
Thus Solomon<S>8010</S> finished<S>3615</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>: and all that came<S>935</S> into Solomon<S>8010</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> to make<S>6213</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and in his own house<S>1004</S>, he successfully completed<S>6743</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> appeared<S>7200</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S> by night<S>3915</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>8085</S>, I have heard your prayer<S>8605</S>, and have chosen<S>977</S> this place<S>4725</S> to myself for a house<S>1004</S> of sacrifice<S>2077</S>.


text:
If<S>2005</S> I shut up<S>6113</S> heaven<S>8064</S> that there be no rain<S>4306</S>, or if I command<S>6680</S> the locusts<S>2284</S> to devour<S>398</S> the land<S>776</S>, or if I send<S>7971</S> pestilence<S>1698</S> among my people<S>5971</S>;


text:
If my people<S>5971</S>, which are called<S>7121</S> by my name<S>8034</S>, shall humble<S>3665</S> themselves<S>6419</S>, and pray, and seek<S>1245</S> my face<S>6440</S>, and turn<S>7725</S> from their wicked<S>7451</S> ways<S>1870</S>; then will I hear<S>8085</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, and will forgive<S>5545</S> their sin<S>2403</S>, and will heal<S>7495</S> their land<S>776</S>.


text:
Now my eyes<S>5869</S> shall be open<S>6605</S>, and my ears<S>241</S> attentive<S>7183</S> unto the prayer<S>8605</S> that is made in this place<S>4725</S>.


text:
For now have I chosen<S>977</S> and sanctified<S>6942</S> this house<S>1004</S>, that my name<S>8034</S> may be there for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>: and my eyes<S>5869</S> and my heart<S>3820</S> shall be there perpetually<S>3117</S>.


text:
And as for you<S>3212</S>, if you will walk before<S>6440</S> me<S>1732</S>, as David your father<S>1</S> walked<S>1980</S>, and do<S>6213</S> according to all that I have commanded<S>6680</S> you<S>8104</S>, and shall observe my statutes<S>2706</S> and my judgments<S>4941</S>;


text:
Then will I establish<S>6965</S> the throne<S>3678</S> of your kingdom<S>4438</S>, according as I have covenanted<S>3772</S> with David<S>1732</S> your father<S>1</S>, saying<S>559</S>, There shall not fail<S>3772</S> you a man<S>376</S> to be ruler<S>4910</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
But if you turn away<S>7725</S>, and forsake<S>5800</S> my statutes<S>2708</S> and my commandments<S>4687</S>, which I have set<S>5414</S> before<S>6440</S> you<S>1980</S>, and shall go and serve<S>5647</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, and worship them<S>7812</S>;


text:
Then will I pluck them up by the roots<S>5428</S> out of my land<S>127</S> which I have given<S>5414</S> them<S>1004</S>; and this house, which I have sanctified<S>6942</S> for my name<S>8034</S>, will I cast out<S>7993</S> of my sight<S>6440</S>, and will make<S>5414</S> it to be a proverb<S>4912</S> and a byword<S>8148</S> among all nations<S>5971</S>.


text:
And this house<S>1004</S>, which is high<S>5945</S>, shall be an astonishment<S>8074</S> to every one that passes<S>5674</S> by it<S>559</S>; so that he shall say, Why has the Lord<S>3068</S> done<S>6213</S> thus unto this land<S>776</S>, and unto this house<S>1004</S>?


text:
And it shall be answered<S>559</S>, Because they forsook<S>5800</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>, which brought them forth<S>3318</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and laid hold<S>2388</S> on other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, and worshiped<S>7812</S> them<S>5647</S>, and served them<S>935</S>: therefore has he brought all this evil upon them<S>7451</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at the end<S>7093</S> of twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S>, where Solomon<S>8010</S> had built<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and his own house<S>1004</S>,


text:
That the cities<S>5892</S> which Huram<S>2361</S> had restored<S>5414</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S>, Solomon<S>8010</S> built<S>1129</S> them<S>1121</S>, and caused the sons of Israel<S>3478</S> to live there<S>3427</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> went<S>3212</S> to Hamath<S>2578</S>–zobah, and prevailed against it<S>2388</S>.


text:
And he built<S>1129</S> Tadmor<S>8412</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>, and all the store<S>4543</S> cities<S>5892</S>, which he built<S>1129</S> in Hamath<S>2574</S>.


text:
Also he built<S>1129</S> Beth<S>1032</S>–horon the upper<S>5945</S>, and Beth<S>1032</S>–horon the lower<S>8481</S>, fenced<S>4692</S> cities<S>5892</S>, with walls<S>2346</S>, gates<S>1817</S>, and bars<S>1280</S>;


text:
And Baalath<S>1191</S>, and all the store<S>4543</S> cities<S>5892</S> that Solomon<S>8010</S> had<S>7393</S>, and all the chariot cities<S>5892</S>, and the cities<S>5892</S> of the horsemen<S>6571</S>, and all that Solomon<S>8010</S> desired<S>2836</S> to build<S>1129</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and in Lebanon<S>3844</S>, and throughout all the land<S>776</S> of his dominion<S>4475</S>.


text:
As for all the people<S>5971</S> that were left<S>3498</S> of the Hittites<S>2850</S>, and the Amorites<S>567</S>, and the Perizzites<S>6522</S>, and the Hivites<S>2340</S>, and the Jebusites<S>2983</S>, which were not of Israel<S>3478</S>,


text:
But of their sons<S>1121</S>, who were left<S>3498</S> after<S>310</S> them in the land<S>776</S>, whom the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> consumed<S>3615</S> not<S>8010</S>, them did Solomon make to pay<S>5927</S> tribute<S>4522</S> until this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
But of the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> did Solomon<S>8010</S> make<S>5414</S> no servants<S>5650</S> for his work<S>4399</S>; but they were men<S>582</S> of war<S>4421</S>, and chief<S>8269</S> of his captains<S>7991</S>, and captains<S>8269</S> of his chariots<S>7393</S> and horsemen<S>6571</S>.


text:
And these were the chief<S>8269</S> of king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>'s officers<S>5324</S>, even two hundred<S>3967</S> and fifty<S>2572</S>, that bore rule<S>7287</S> over the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> brought up<S>5927</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Pharaoh<S>6547</S> out of the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> that he had built<S>1129</S> for her<S>559</S>: for he said, My wife<S>802</S> shall not live<S>3427</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, because the places are holy<S>6944</S>, where the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> has come<S>935</S>.


text:
Then Solomon<S>8010</S> offered<S>5927</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> on the altar<S>4196</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, which he had built<S>1129</S> before<S>6440</S> the porch<S>197</S>,


text:
Even after a certain rate<S>1697</S> every day<S>3117</S>, offering<S>5927</S> according to the commandment<S>4687</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>, on the sabbaths<S>7676</S>, and on the new moons<S>2320</S>, and on the solemn feasts<S>4150</S>, three<S>7969</S> times<S>6471</S> in the year<S>8141</S>, even in the feast<S>2282</S> of unleavened bread<S>4682</S>, and in the feast<S>2282</S> of weeks<S>7620</S>, and in the feast<S>2282</S> of tabernacles<S>5521</S>.


text:
And he appointed<S>5975</S>, according to the order<S>4941</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>, the courses<S>4256</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> to their service<S>5656</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S> to their charges<S>4931</S>, to praise<S>1984</S> and minister<S>8334</S> before the priests<S>3548</S>, as the duty<S>1697</S> of every day<S>3117</S> required<S>3117</S>: the porters<S>7778</S> also by their courses<S>4256</S> at every gate<S>8179</S>: for so had David<S>1732</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> commanded<S>4687</S>.


text:
And they departed<S>5493</S> not from the commandment<S>4687</S> of the king<S>4428</S> unto the priests<S>3548</S> and Levites<S>3881</S> concerning any matter<S>1697</S>, or concerning the treasures<S>214</S>.


text:
Now all the work<S>4399</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> was prepared<S>3559</S> unto the day<S>3117</S> of the foundation<S>4143</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and until it was finished<S>3615</S>. So the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was perfected<S>8003</S>.


text:
Then went<S>1980</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> to Ezion<S>6100</S>–geber, and to Eloth<S>359</S>, at the sea<S>3220</S> side<S>8193</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Edom<S>123</S>.

And Huram<S>2361</S> sent<S>7971</S> him by the hands<S>3027</S> of his servants<S>5650</S> ships<S>591</S>, and servants<S>5650</S> that had knowledge<S>3045</S> of the sea<S>3220</S>; and they went<S>935</S> with the servants<S>5650</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> to Ophir<S>211</S>, and took<S>3947</S> there four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and fifty<S>2572</S> talents<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them to king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>.

And when the queen<S>4436</S> of Sheba<S>7614</S> heard<S>8085</S> of the fame<S>8088</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, she came<S>935</S> to prove<S>5254</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> with hard questions<S>2420</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, with a very<S>3966</S> great<S>3515</S> company<S>2428</S>, and camels<S>1581</S> that bore<S>5375</S> spices<S>1314</S>, and gold<S>2091</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>, and precious<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>: and when she was come<S>935</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S>, she talked<S>1696</S> with him of all that was in her heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> told<S>5046</S> her all her questions<S>1697</S>: and there was nothing hid<S>5956</S> from Solomon<S>8010</S> which he told her not<S>5046</S>.


text:
And when the queen<S>4436</S> of Sheba<S>7614</S> had seen<S>7200</S> the wisdom<S>2451</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, and the house<S>1004</S> that he had built<S>1129</S>,

And the food<S>3978</S> of his table<S>7979</S>, and the sitting<S>4186</S> of his servants<S>5650</S>, and the attendance<S>4612</S> of his ministers<S>8334</S>, and their apparel<S>4403</S>; his cupbearers<S>8248</S> also<S>4403</S>, and their apparel; and his ascent<S>5944</S> by which he went up<S>5927</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>; there was no more spirit in her<S>7307</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, It was a true<S>571</S> report<S>1697</S> which I heard<S>8085</S> in my own land<S>776</S> of your acts<S>1697</S>, and of your wisdom<S>2451</S>:


text:
But I believed<S>539</S> not their words<S>1697</S>, until I came<S>935</S>, and my eyes<S>5869</S> had seen<S>7200</S> it<S>2677</S>: and, behold, the one half of the greatness<S>4768</S> of your wisdom<S>2451</S> was not told<S>5046</S> me<S>3254</S>: for you exceed the fame<S>8052</S> that I heard<S>8085</S>.


text:
Happy<S>835</S> are your men<S>582</S>, and happy<S>835</S> are these your servants<S>5650</S>, which stand<S>5975</S> continually<S>8548</S> before<S>6440</S> you<S>8085</S>, and hear your wisdom<S>2451</S>.


text:
Blessed<S>1288</S> be the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, which delighted<S>2654</S> in you to set<S>5414</S> you on his throne<S>3678</S>, to be king<S>4428</S> for the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>: because your God<S>430</S> loved<S>160</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, to establish<S>5975</S> them for ever<S>5769</S>, therefore made<S>5414</S> he you king<S>4428</S> over them<S>6213</S>, to do judgment<S>4941</S> and justice<S>6666</S>.


text:
And she gave<S>5414</S> the king<S>4428</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> talents<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, and of spices<S>1314</S> great<S>3966</S> abundance<S>7230</S>, and precious<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>: neither was there any such spice<S>1314</S> as the queen<S>4436</S> of Sheba<S>7614</S> gave<S>5414</S> king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
And the servants<S>5650</S> also of Huram<S>2361</S>, and the servants<S>5650</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, which brought<S>935</S> gold<S>2091</S> from Ophir<S>211</S>, brought<S>935</S> algum<S>418</S> trees<S>6086</S> and precious<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>.

text:
And king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> gave<S>5414</S> to the queen<S>4436</S> of Sheba<S>7614</S> all her desire<S>2656</S>, whatever she asked<S>7592</S>, beside that which she had brought<S>935</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>. So she turned<S>2015</S>, and went away<S>3212</S> to her own land<S>776</S>, she and her servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
Now the weight<S>4948</S> of gold<S>2091</S> that came<S>935</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S> in one<S>259</S> year<S>8141</S> was six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and sixty<S>8346</S> and six<S>8337</S> talents<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>;

And the king<S>4428</S> put<S>5414</S> them in the house<S>1004</S> of the forest<S>3293</S> of Lebanon<S>3844</S>.


text:
Moreover the king<S>4428</S> made<S>6213</S> a great<S>1419</S> throne<S>3678</S> of ivory<S>8127</S>, and overlaid<S>6823</S> it with pure<S>2889</S> gold<S>2091</S>.

And twelve<S>8147</S> lions<S>738</S> stood<S>5975</S> there on the one side and on the other upon the six<S>8337</S> steps<S>4609</S>. There was not the like made<S>6213</S> in any kingdom<S>4467</S>.


text:
And all the drinking<S>4945</S> vessels<S>3627</S> of king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> were of gold<S>2091</S>, and all the vessels<S>3627</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the forest<S>3293</S> of Lebanon<S>3844</S> were of pure<S>5462</S> gold<S>2091</S>: none were of silver<S>3701</S>; it was not any<S>3972</S> thing accounted<S>2803</S> of in the days<S>3117</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>.

For the king<S>4428</S>'s ships<S>591</S> went<S>1980</S> to Tarshish<S>8659</S> with the servants<S>5650</S> of Huram<S>2361</S>: every three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> once<S>259</S> came<S>935</S> the ships<S>591</S> of Tarshish<S>8659</S> bringing<S>5375</S> gold<S>2091</S>, and silver<S>3701</S>, ivory<S>8143</S>, and apes<S>6971</S>, and peacocks<S>8500</S>.

And he reigned<S>4910</S> over all the kings<S>4428</S> from the river<S>5104</S> even unto the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and to the border<S>1366</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.
